Outline of agriculture

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to agriculture:

Agriculture – cultivation of animals, plants, fungi and other life forms for food, fiber, and other products used to sustain life.^[1]

What type of thing is agriculture?

Agriculture can be described as all of the following:

Agricultural activities

Agricultural cycle – annual cycle of activities related to the growth and harvest of a crop.
Land use – management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements.

Agricultural production

Cash crop – agricultural crop which is grown for sale for profit.
Agricultural products
- Food – any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body.
- Natural fibers – class of hair-like materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to pieces of thread. They can be spun into filaments, thread, or rope. Natural fibers are made from plant, animal and mineral sources.
- Lumber – wood in any of its stages from felling to readiness for use as structural material for construction, or wood pulp for paper production.
- Paper – sheet material used for writing on or printing on (or as a non-waterproof container), usually made by draining cellulose fibres from a suspension in water.
- Medicine great quantity of herbal and animal parts are used for medicinal purposes worldwide, especially in traditional and naturopathic medicines.
- Biofuels wide range of plants and plant products are used for converting to fuels, such as firewood, biodiesel, methane gas etc.

Agricultural resources

Agricultural land – denotes the land suitable for agricultural production, both crops and livestock. It is one of the main resources in agriculture.
Labor (economics) – measure of the work done by human beings.
Water – chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O.
Agricultural machinery – machinery used in the operation of an agricultural area or farm.
Fertilizers – any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is added to a soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.

Branches of agriculture

By type of life form produced or harvested

Agronomy – science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, feed, fiber, and reclamation.
- Organic gardening – science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants by following the essential principles of organic agriculture in soil building and conservation, pest management, and heirloom variety preservation.

By industry

Aquafarming

Aquaculture – farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants.

Farming

Types of farming

Alligator farming – establishment for breeding and raising of crocodilians in order to produce meat, leather, and other goods.
Aquaculture – farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants.
Contract farming – agricultural production carried out according to an agreement between a buyer and farmers
