It creates thousands of jobs and puts food on our tables. It was the key to our development as a civilization. It allows us to produce on larger scales, distributing foods to people in urban and suburban environments. As a result,\u00a0 people can pursue other activities that contribute to society in different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we talk about agriculture, what do we mean? How important is it to our way of life? Let\u2019s explore the answers to these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Does It Involve?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agriculture is synonymous with farming. The primary practice is cultivating plants and livestock for food and other products. There are several core aspects of the work, including cultivating the soil, maintaining land for livestock, slaughtering, and the sale of produce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many roles that support agriculture but aren\u2019t involved directly in cultivation. They could include providing industrial equipment for farming, such as tractors and harvesting tools, breeding and selling livestock, selling seeds and plants to be used as crops, or veterinary care for farm animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cereals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oils<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dairy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fungi<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wool<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cotton<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubber<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Agriculture in the US<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US has many natural resources and a lot of land, and the conditions are well suited to agriculture. The farming industry employs around 960,000 people, and there are more than two million farms. They make up around 89.5 million acres of farmland. Those include small holdings, family farms, and larger agricultural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total value of exports is estimated at $172 billion. Since the US has a diverse climate, different crops are grown across the country. The top crops in the US are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cotton<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soybean and oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pulses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Industrial Agriculture<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A significant portion of farming in the US is industrial agriculture. It\u2019s large-scale intensive production of crops or livestock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practices can often involve chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and poor conditions for animals. It might also mean that corporations are receiving large profits while the farmers and workers are required to do more with fewer benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The demand to provide food for a growing population means that practices have had to be scaled up. However, appropriate solutions for sustainable farming take longer to develop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Importance of Agriculture<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agriculture provides the food in our grocery stores. It also supplies many of the materials that are used to make products that we use in daily life. It contributes large amounts to the US economy and accounts for a large percentage of employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agricultural practices contribute to climate change and can have negative impacts on ecosystems and the biodiversity of an area. Besides chemicals entering the soil and water, selective breeding plants and animals are changing our environment and causing damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Threats to Agriculture<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as posing threats to our environment, agriculture is vulnerable to environmental issues. Common threats include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insects<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agricultural workers on farms of any size have to contend with a warmer climate, soil degradation, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss. Bees are essential to pollination to increase yields, which means anything that threatens bees can damage agricultural production.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Sources:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neefusa.org\/nature\/plants-and-animals\/future-us-agriculture\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.neefusa.org\/nature\/plants-and-animals\/future-us-agriculture<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Agriculture#:~:text=The%20major%20agricultural%20products%20can,milk%2C%20eggs%2C%20and%20fungi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Agriculture#:~:text=The%20major%20agricultural%20products%20can,milk%2C%20eggs%2C%20and%20fungi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/1126\/us-agriculture\/#dossierContents__outerWrapper\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/1126\/us-agriculture\/#dossierContents__outerWrapper<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/agamerica.com\/blog\/power-of-10-top-10-produce-crops-in-the-u-s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/agamerica.com\/blog\/power-of-10-top-10-produce-crops-in-the-u-s\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/industrial-agriculture-101\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/industrial-agriculture-101<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials\/ag-and-food-sectors-and-the-economy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials\/ag-and-food-sectors-and-the-economy\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f1e618ae99e\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-center\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Promoci\u00f3n 1 voto m\u00e1s cercano\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/456406040?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f1e618aee9d\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-content vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-top\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop using-bg-color\"  style=\"background-color: #a65bf4; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 4px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Agriculture The science and work of raising crops and farm animals Agriculture Agriculture is a significant part of our lives.
