Why is agriculture important in the world
of today?
Since the dawn of history, agriculture has been one of the
important means of producing food for human
consumption. Today more and more lands are being
developed for the production of a large variety crops. In
Asia, vast areas of land are being used to produce rice,
wheat, rubber and a variety of other crops.
In Asia, vast areas of land are being used to produce rice,

of the lands occupied and developed by human beings in
the world are devoted to agriculture.
That agriculture is one of the most essential means of
producing food is realized easily when we think of the
types of things that we eat. The rice or wheat that we eat
comes from the land. Even potatoes and other roots or
vegetables and even leaves such as tea, as well as the
fruits that men eat are the products of the soil that covers
the earth. In fact, everything that we eat except meat, fish
and other kinds of flesh comes from the land and what
grows on the land is part of agriculture. Even the sugar,
oil, coffee and other beverages that we use are products
of plants that grow on the land. In the same way, many of
the medicines that we use are made of plants that grow in
various parts of the world. The tobacco that we use for
relaxation also comes from a plant.
Thus, it can be easily observed that without agriculture we
would be almost without food. It is true, however, that in
the remote past men did live mainly on flesh that he
obtained by hunting. But such a kind of life was unhappy
and inconvenient, for animals were not found everywhere

easily. Therefore, men turned to agriculture for his
livelihood. Today, agriculture continues to provide almost
all the foods that men require to survive on the earth.
