Agriculture was an important development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, as it produced food surpluses that allowed people to live in cities. While people began harvesting grains at least 105,000 years ago, farmers did not begin growing them until roughly 11,500 years ago. Domestication of sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle began around 10,000 years ago. Plants were grown independently in at least 11 different parts of the world.
Agriculture produces the majority of the world's food and textiles. Agriculture produces cotton, wool, and leather. Agriculture also produces construction timber and paper goods.
Agriculture also plays an important part in meeting consumer and commercial market demand in an interconnected globe.
Food safety
Meals are a basic necessity, and agriculture is one of our primary suppliers of food. To live and operate, we all require energy, which we obtain through the food we consume on a daily basis. On the other hand, our healthy body need carbs, enzymes, protein, vitamins, and other essential nutrients to function properly, and food is the primary source of the majority of them.
The following are examples of agricultural products.
Biofuels:
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims that biofuels derived from biomass sources such as corn, soybeans, sugarcane, and algae have favourable economics. Reduced greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions, as well as the possibility of higher agricultural income, are among the benefits.
Vegetables and fruits:
In human diets, fruits and vegetables are important sources of fibre, protein, and carbs. Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus. Fruits and vegetables provide flavour to the human palate in addition to health benefits.
Cotton as a Fabric:
The road from cotton to clothing begins with agricultural agriculture. Cotton is cultivated, harvested, processed, spun, and sewn into fabric before it becomes a garment.
Pharmaceutical Items:
Plants have been used to treat human ailments for thousands of years. For example, ginger, a plant root commonly used in tea, helps assist digestion. Plant and herb-derived substances can also be beneficial in medicine.For example, compounds taken from the foxglove plant are used in digoxin, a medicine used to treat heart failure.
Rubber Manufacturing from Natural Rubber:
According to Hedges & Company market study, the world has more than 1.4 billion vehicles. Every single one is powered by rubber tyres. According to GEP, the major rubber-producing countries are Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which account for around 70% of worldwide natural rubber production, and 90% of suppliers are small-scale farmers.
