Answer 2

Answer:Agriculture is one word that encapsulates all of the farmer's activities. Crops , poultry, livestockThe allied industries are all the small and medium enterprises that depend directly or indirectly on the activity of Agriculture.Its like a big homogeneous puzzle where all the pieces are interlinked and interdependent. If you miss a few pieces the whole puzzle looks incomplete.And Agriculture is the whole theme and concept of the puzzle.Let me put it the way i know.

Case study 1: PADDY

Paddy is the staple food of most of Indian population.

Paddy is a crop of almost 120 days.

Now lets see all the people depending on this one crop.Paddy requries a lot manual labour.So the labourers are fully  engaged for tge whole of 120 days may it be watering the fields, planting the saplings, applications of fertiliser,  pesticides, removal of weeds and the grass. Than the harvest starts by cutting the crop, than bundling the whole crop , crushing the dry paddy, separating the dry grass and the grains, weighing and baging the grains.The fertiliser and pesticides industry.The machinery used for cultivation may it be the tractors, cultivators,  harvesting machines, water pumpsThe sales agencies of the equipment and the mechanics and repairing techniciansThe rice mills that process the paddyThe oil factories that extract from rice bran a by product of rice mills.The rice husk is used as fuel to light the kitchens in dhabas and kaka hotelsThe brick and pottery kilns use rice husk as fuelThe dry hay that is left after harvesting the grains is the staple food for cattle.The hay is also used in mushroom culturing.By now you have the basic picture of Agriculture and the allied industries.Now as you see on good crop of Paddy provides not just the grains but all the employment it creates directly or indirectly.
