What is Agriculture?
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the
land, growing plants, and raising animals. It provides
the foundation for human survival supplying the food

the Americas agriculture connects people to the land
and to each other.
This practice dates back over 10,000 years
and has evolved alongside human civilization.

Why Agriculture Matters?
Food for the World
Every meal begins with agriculture. From rice in Asia

farmers, but also workers in transport, marketing,
storage, and machinery.
