Agriculture is the science, art, and practice of cultivating crops, raising livestock, managing natural resources, and producing food and other agricultural products. It includes several major branches such as agronomy, horticulture, soil science, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, plant pathology, entomology, animal science, and agricultural extension. The scope of agriculture extends from crop and livestock production to food processing, agribusiness, biotechnology, research, environmental management, and sustainable development.

Agriculture is vital for ensuring food security, creating employment, supporting rural economies, generating income, and contributing to national economic development.
