Answer 1

Hello My Dear Friend,

______________________

agriculture needs to produce more food because the world's population is growing. That's certainly true, and Monsanto—along with many other companies, governments and organizations—has been working to develop seeds and other systems that help farmers grow more.

Agriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

1. Agriculture affects all of us, directly and indirectly. It affects us directly through the food we eat and it affects us indirectly through its relationship to the environment
2. It is the agricultural sector that feeds country's trade. Agricultural products like tea, sugar, rice, tobacco, spices etc. constitute the main items of exports of India. If the development process of agriculture is smooth, export increases and imports are reduced considerably.
3. Agriculture has been the source of raw materials to the leading industries like cotton and jute textiles, sugar, tobacco, edible and non-edible oils etc. All these depend directly on agriculture.
4. Agricultural sector constitutes an important place in the country's export trade.

This shows that agriculture products still continue to be significant source of earning foreign exchange.
5. In India the main occupation of our working population is agriculture. About 70 per cent of our population is directly engaged in agriculture
6. The agricultural sector is significant as it provides greater employment opportunities in the construction of irrigation projects, drainage system and other such activities.
