Agriculture, science and practice of producing crops and livestock
from the natural resources of the earth. The primary aim of
agriculture is to cause the land to produce more abundantly and at
the same time to protect it from deterioration and misuse. The
diverse branches of modern agriculture include agronomy,
horticulture, economic entomology, animal husbandry, dairying,
agricultural engineering, soil chemistry, and agricultural
economics. Agriculture is the production of food and goods through
farming. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise
of human civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals
and plants (i.e. crops) creating food surpluses that enabled the
development of more densely populated and stratified societies.
This illustrated glossary of agricultural and environmental
sciences terms provides definitions of commonly used terms related
to agricultural and environmental sciences written for students and
teachers with a background in biology. We hope that this glossary
is useful as a learning tool to the student attempting to
assimilate the vast vocabulary of agronomy, plant sciences,
microbiology, and other agricultural sciences.
