Explanation:

Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock.[1] Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs, sheep and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture in the twentieth century came to dominate agricultural output, though about 2 billion people still depended on subsistence agriculture into the twenty-first.

Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, and technological developments have sharply increased yields, while causing widespread ecological and environmental damage. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have raised concerns about animal welfare and environmental damage. Environmental issues include contributions to global warming, depletion of aquifers, deforestation, antibiotic resistance, and growth hormones in industrial meat production. Genetically modified organisms are widely used, although some are banned in certain countries.

The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels and raw materials (such as rubber). Food classes include cereals (grains), vegetables, fruits, oils, meat, milk, fungi and eggs. Over one-third of the world's workers are employed in agriculture, second only to the service sector, although the number of agricultural workers in developed countries has decreased significantly over the centuries.

Explanation:

Agriculture is the most important sector of Indian Economy. Indian

agriculture sector accounts for 18 per cent of India's gross domestic

product (GDP) and provides employment to 50% of the countries

workforce. India is the world’s largest producer of pulses, rice, wheat,

spices and spice products. India has many areas to choose for business

such as dairy, meat, poultry, fisheries and food grains etc. India has

emerged as the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in

the world [1]. According to the data provided by Department of

Economics and Statics (DES) the production of food grains for the year

2013-2014 is 264 million tons which is increased when compared to

(2012-2013) 257million tons. This is a good symptom for the Indian

economy from the agriculture sector. India remains among main three

as far as production of different agricultural things like paddy, wheat,

pulses, groundnut, rapeseeds, natural products, vegetables, sugarcane,

tea, jute, cotton, tobacco leaves and so on. On the other hand, on

advertising front, Indian agribusiness is as yet confronting the issues,

for example, low level of business sector reconciliation and integration,

availability of dependable and convenient information needed by

farmers on different issues in farming [2].

Agriculture in Indian Economy

Indian is an agriculture based country, where more than 50% of

population is depend on agriculture. This structures the main source

of income. The commitment of agribusiness in the national income in

India is all the more, subsequently, it is said that agriculture in India

is a backbone for Indian Economy. The contribution of agriculture in

the initial two decades towards the total national output is between

48% and 60%. In the year 2001-2002, this contribution declined to just

around 26%. The aggregate Share of Agriculture and Allied Sectors,

Including agribusiness, domesticated animals, and ranger service and

fishery sub segments as far as rate of GDP is 13.9 percent during 2013-

14 at 2004-05 prices. Agricultural exports constitute a fifth of the total

exports of the country. In perspective of the overwhelming position of

the Agricultural Sector, gathering and support of Agricultural Statistics

expect incredible significance.
