Importance of agriculture
How to Eat the soil? Have you ever thought of eating
soil ? we eat the mud/soil. The process is simple : we eat soil indirectly i.e
Agriculture.
Agriculture is process through which we convert the soil into a eatable material.
Now a days agriculture includes the fields like forestry, apiculture (bee keeping), sericulture(rearing of insects that produces silk), pomology (fruits science) ,verticulture (vegetable science), sandculture, hydrophonics, terrace farming, forestry, animal husbandry and dairying, poultry and many more.
We all know agriculture is the backbone of mankind and how is the importance of a backbone ?we will discuss the same below in this blog.
Food: Agriculture is the source of food
Whatever be your business, at the end of the day you
need food. The things that we need the most is air water and then food. Agriculture
is the only source of food in this earth.
Photosynthesis helps in making food for the plants
but at the same time we must admit that agriculture is the process to make out
the proper utilization of photosynthesis for human being.
So we can also state that to stop malnutrition promoting agriculture is
the only way.
Maintenance of Biodiversity and Supports Environment
I feel that agriculture is the only industry that
helps every species on its surroundings thrive.
Thus it helps maintaining biodiversity.
You are always sure of finding snakes and rodents at same time many other useful/harmful organisms in our farms.
Raw material for the industries
Agriculture is a source of raw material for
different industries in this world.
You may have heard about the medicinal plants. And
thus, for making medicines a lot of plants are used and thus agriculture
supplies them.
Clothing is hereby another important industry that
runs based on the raw materials supplied from agriculture.(cotton is an
example, silk etc)
These are just common examples but there are a lot of industries that are dependent on agriculture for raw materials. Rubber, latex, tea industry coffee industry etc
Employment Opportunity
The world has a lot of farmers, but still we require more. Whatever you want to become, but you can also be a farmer easily. Agriculture is a industry that provides you employment without interviews or entrance test for the post of farmers. Moreover now-a-days the concept of terrace farming and Genetically modified varieties have made farming more easier.
Besides farmers there are a lot of agricultural research
institutes and the scientists working on making agriculture more efficient and
sustainable and easier for us. Which is also a employment.
There are a lot of industries that help providing employment
opportunities that are dependent on agriculture. Like clothing,
rubber, tea coffee, pesticide industries biotechnological industries etc.
So we can also say that agriculture is an opportunity.
Rural
Development
Agriculture is an important sector where actually
the rural society or population depends.
So for the
actual development of rural areas its important to develop the agricultural
sector that consists of the farming population of the country. As most of the
farmers live in rural areas and the development of the farmers is the ultimate development
of rural society.
As we know
that 99% of the farmers live in rural areas. So the development of farmers and
the rural development is directly proportional.
Revenue Generation and Economic Development
Developed population is
developed country. More rich are the people more richer the country, wealthier the
economy.
A lot of revenue in each of our countries depends on
agriculture. Or we can just say that economies depend on agriculture a lot.
International
Trade
In this world everyone is unique, Every land is
unique. The one part of the world produces Tea and the other part produces
coffee. They exchange their products with each other. Be you are a small
country or a bigger one a developed or a underdeveloped one but ultimately you
export some agricultural products and import some as well.
Agriculture provides you the opportunity, import and export.
Thus is the Importance of agriculture
