Agriculture defined
USDA refers to agriculture as “agriculture/agribusiness and renewable natural resources.”
Another definition is food, fiber, and environmental systems

Agriscience defined
Agriscience is the application of scientific principles and new technologies to agriculture.
Also called applied science because it uses principles learned in biology chemistry, and physics (the basic sciences) in a practical way.
![Page 5: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Agriscience defined
Examples of Agriscience: Agronomy uses biology and chemistry to
discover new ways to control weeds in crops.
Entomology uses biology and chemistry to study insect life.
Agricultural engineering uses physics to develop new machinery.

World outlook
The world population will grow as more people beget more peopleMore children are surviving to
adulthoodMore adults are living longer
![Page 13: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

TRENDS FOR AGRICULTURE IN THE
FUTURE
![Page 15: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Trends for agriculture/agriscience
Agriculture will always be an essential industryIncreased commercialization of agriculture
will continueNew types of farming such as aquaculture
(fish-farming and farming the sea) will be used as well as traditional farming methods
![Page 16: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Trends for agriculture/agriscience
An expanded view of agriculture is necessaryHorticulture will continue to expand
as the standard of living is raisedHorticulture involves producing,
processing, marketing fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants
![Page 17: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Trends- viewsAgriculture includes renewable
natural resources management to monitor fish, wildlife, water and land
Agriculture and resources management will include pollution control
![Page 18: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Trends-views
Forestry- timber management for lumber, poles, post, plywood, etc. is another part
![Page 19: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Trends- food production, processing, and distribution
College graduates are needed to fill roles as scientists, engineers, and other professionals
The USDA reported an increased demand for graduates from agricultural colleges in the 90s
![Page 20: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trends- food
Many careers in Agriscience products and distribution are needed to grade, transport, process, package, and market Agriculture commodities
![Page 21: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Trends- food
Support for Agricultural supplies and services are also important

Progress Through Engineering
Little progress in agriculture is recorded before 1800 AD
The use of Iron revolutionized American and European agriculture
Most of the world did not catch on as fast
![Page 24: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Progress Through Engineering
Mechanization helps 2% of America’s work force meet the food and fiber needs of our nation
There has been a reduction of 90% in production farming in the last 200 years
![Page 25: Basic Agricultural Awareness. Agriculture defined Activities concerned with the production of plants and animals, and related supplies, services, mechanics,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551afc85550346f70d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

1834 Cut grains
Cut wheat, oats, and other crops

Cutting Grain With the sickle
or reaping hook one man could cut from one-half to one acre in a hard day's work.
The cut grain was later bound by hand

The Reaper
While this first machine required only 2 people for operation (a person to ride the horse and a man to rake the cut grain from the platform), it cut as much grain in one day as 12-16 men with reaping hooks.

Opportunities in AgricultureAgricultural production is supported by many more careers than actually exist in production
The projection is for the average size of farms in the US to increase while the number of farms decrease
