AGRONOMY AND AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES

Scope and Importance

Importance of Agriculture

Agriculture operates like a production system that utilizes natural resources such as land, water, air, and energy. These primary inputs generate crops that not only feed populations but also sustain animal husbandry, which in turn produces secondary outputs such as milk, meat, eggs, wool, honey, and silk.

The correct application of agricultural techniques depends on adapting to local soil, climate, and economic conditions. When managed efficiently, agriculture:

• Provides employment opportunities

• Contributes significantly to exports

• Serves as a source of resource mobilization

• Strengthens food security

• Supports allied sectors such as dairy, poultry, and food processing
