Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock to produce food and other goods. There are three main types of agricultural subsistence: intensive, shifting cultivation, and pastoral nomadism. Agriculture provides most of the world's food and other materials like cotton and wool. While agriculture plays a vital role, it also presents challenges. Studying agriculture is complex with many subjects to learn. Farming lifts people out of poverty but can also harm the environment through issues like climate change and soil degradation. Modern technology helps but agriculture still impacts human health, linked to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Farmers face health risks from their work.
