Introduction
As we know that all living organisms like green plants and animals need food for survival. The green plants prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis while animals obtain their food directly or indirectly from plants. So, now the question comes- What about humans? Where do humans get their food from or how do they meet their daily requirements? Humans grow plants and rear animals to meet their daily requirements. But since, the human population is increasing day by day; their food requirement is also increasing along with it. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the quantity of food produced to fulfill their increasing demand. The food requirement is achieved by farming more land, increasing the food production and by managing the production and distribution of food. Thus, it is agriculture that makes possible to sustain a huge population at one time.
