Agriculture

Agribusiness In agriculture, agribusiness is the business of agricultural production. It includes agrichemicals, breeding, crop production (farming and contract farming), distribution,farm machinery, processing, and seed supply, as well as marketing and retail sales. Within the agriculture industry, "agribusiness" is used simply as a portmanteau of agriculture and business, referring to the range of activities and disciplines encompassed by modern food production. In the context of agribusiness management in academia, each individual element of agriculture production and distribution may be described as agribusinesses. Among critics of large-scale, industrialized, vertically integrated food production, the term agribusiness is used negatively, synonymous with corporate farming. Examples[edit] As concern over global warming intensifies, biofuels derived from crops are gaining increased public and scientific attention.

CSA Wiki Community-supported agriculture (CSA; sometimes known as community-shared agriculture) is an alternative, locally-based economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA also refers to a particular network or association of individuals who have pledged to support one or more local farms, with growers and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production. CSA members or subscribers pay at the onset of the growing season for a share of the anticipated harvest; once harvesting begins, they receive weekly shares of vegetables and fruit, in a vegetable box scheme. Often, CSAs also include herbs, honey, eggs, dairy products and meat, in addition to conventional produce offerings.In theory a CSA can provide any product to its members, although the majority of CSA operations tend to provide produce, fruits, and various edibles. History[edit] The CSA Garden at Great Barrington remained together until 1990 when many members left to form the Mahaiwe Harvest CSA. Structure[edit]

Horticulture A fruit and vegetable market in Milan Horticultural and health-related produce Horticulturists apply their knowledge, skills, and technologies used to grow intensively produced plants for human food and non-food uses and for personal or social needs. Their work involves plant propagation and cultivation with the aim of improving plant growth, yields, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. Etymology[edit] The word horticulture is modeled after agriculture, and comes from the Latin hortus "garden"[1] and cultūra "cultivation", from cultus, the perfect passive participle of the verb colō "I cultivate".[2] Hortus is cognate with the native English word yard (in the meaning of land associated with a building) and also the borrowed word garden.[3] Scope[edit] Horticulture involves nine areas of study,[citation needed] which can be grouped into two broad sections – ornamentals and edibles: Anthropology[edit] Horticulture organizations[edit]

Agriculture & Rural Development ddrrnt Why forests are important for humans life cycle | BFITDoon Hello readers today we talking about why forests are important for human life cycle. Let us have a look. Climate change and global warming are the new environmental threats of the twenty-first century in India and the world. This leads to the main global threats: poverty, hunger, population increase, armed conflict, air pollutants, water pollution, migration, soil degradation, deforestation, etc. It is vital to discover an answer to the climate change situation. There are several tactics to slow these vital issues in India. Forests are important for the survival of all lives. ● Significance of forests in offering a natural habitat Forests offer a sustainable environment for the survival of tens of millions of animals. ● Significance of Forests as Watershed Regions Forest-primarily based water tables, rivers, streams, and lakes are important water resources. ● Significance of Forests to Purify the Air Photosynthesis is a critical feature of plants to generate food and energy.

Claas Home The 800 Series offers four new models: JAGUAR 880 (626 hp), JAGUAR 860 (516 hp), JAGUAR 850 (462 hp), and the JAGUAR 840 (408 hp). Mercedes inline 6 engines deliver Tier 4f power to the entire line. The top-end 880 offers a power curve comparable to the JAGUAR 960, while the JAGUAR 840 – the least powerful offering in the new JAGUAR 800 series – fits a niche for those who don’t require quite as much power as the base JAGUAR 930. The same DYNAMIC POWER option offered on the 900 Series – a system that modifies engine output and fuel consumption based on operating conditions – is also an available option on the JAGUAR 880 and 860. According to CLAAS of America Product Coordinator, Matt Jaynes, “Those who are familiar with the JAGUAR line of forage harvesters will remember the ‘Green Eye’ series, which was sold here in North America just a few years ago. The 800 Series, while mechanically straightforward, still delivers the advanced features you’ve come to expect from the JAGAUR line.

Verge Permaculture | Agroforestry Land use management system Agroforestry is a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland. This intentional combination of agriculture and forestry has varied benefits, including increased biodiversity and reduced erosion.[1] Agroforestry practices have been successful in sub-Saharan Africa[2] and in parts of the United States.[3][4] Agroforestry shares principles with intercropping. Both may place two or more plant species (such as nitrogen-fixing plants) in proximity. Agroforestry contour planting integrated with animal grazing on Taylors Run farm, Australia As a science[edit] According to Wojtkowski, the theoretical base for agroforestry lies in ecology,[5] or agroecology. Benefits[edit] Agroforestry systems can be advantageous over conventional agricultural and forest production methods. Biodiversity[edit] Biodiversity in agroforestry systems is typically higher than in conventional agricultural systems. Soil and plant growth[edit]
