Agriculture is the primary source of food and food products throughout the world. For decades, agriculture has been allied with the production of significant food crops. Now, agriculture farming contains forestry, dairy, poultry, fruit cultivation, bee keeping, arbitrary, etc. Today, production, processing, marketing, and distribution of crops and livestock products are all recognized as part of modern agriculture. Consequently, agriculture is concerned with the production, processing, promotion and distribution agricultural crops. Agriculture conveys a critical role in the world economy as the backbone of the economic system of a country. As well to providing food and raw material, agriculture also delivers employment opportunities to very large percentage of the people. All the major ingredients like carbohydrates, proteins and oils can be obtained through agriculture in large scale. Other food sources such as fish, diary, poultry and meat also depend on agriculture in some or other way.

Though many countries do not levy taxes on farmers’ income, yet governments derive much revenue in the form of land taxes, import & export duties, income tax on brokers and middle men involved in sale of farm products.


This book titled “Theory, Practice and Techniques in Agricultural Science” delves into agriculture, development, and the environment in the world. It focuses on the agricultural technology of all kinds used in producing food and fiber, and the primary rationale for developing new innovative technologies. Additionally, it highlights the consequences of agriculture’s contribution to climate change, and of climate change’s negative impact on agriculture, which is projected to have a great impact on food production and may threaten the food security and hence, require special agricultural measures to combat with.
