Agriculture is the practice of growing crops and raising animals to provide food, clothing, and other essentials. It’s been a part of human life for thousands of years and is the backbone of our food supply. Farmers work the land, care for animals, and use tools and technology to produce things like fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, and meat. Agriculture also supports jobs, communities, and the environment when done sustainably. It's all about working with nature to feed and support people around the world.
