Answer 2

Answer:

Definition of agriculture =

the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

factors which are important for agriculture are as follows-

1.climate- it is very important.

Climate change can affect agriculture in a variety of ways. Beyond a certain range of temperatures, warming tends to reduce yields because crops speed through their develop- ment, producing less grain in the process. And higher tem- peratures also interfere with the ability of plants to get and use moisture.

2.soil-

Soil health is fundamental for a healthy food production. It provides essential nutrients, water, oxygen and support to the roots, all elements that favour the growth and development of plants for food production.

3.vegetation-

vegetation regulates the flow of numerous biogeochemical cycles, most critically those of water, carbon, and nitrogen; it is also of great importance in local and global energy balances.

4.photosynthesis and other imp biological reactions-

It provides nutrients for the crop. Atmospheric gases: In photosynthesis, plants constantly absorb and release gases In a way that creates sugar for food. ... the rate of photosynthesis is very important for agriculture, if farmers increase the rate of photosynthesis this will increase the yield of the crop.
