 | | Agricultural chemistry deals with other vital farming concerns, such as the application of fertilizer, insecticides (see Pest control), and fungicides, soil makeup, analysis of agricultural products, and nutritional needs of farm animals. | | | Aquaculture, the farming of fish, shrimp, and algae, is closely associated with agriculture. | | | Agriculture (a term which encompasses farming) is the art, science or practice of producing food, feed, fiber and many other desired goods by the systematic raising of plants and animals. |

| | Handbook of Texas Online: AGRICULTURE |
| | Modern Texas agriculture evolved from the agriculture of prehistoric Texans and agricultural practices transferred from Europe, Asia, and Africa. | | | Agricultural practices on the small farm, which typically ranged in size from 120 to 160 acres, varied from purely pastoral to a combination of pastoral, crop, and garden farming. | | | A prime example of the impact of agricultural research was demonstrated with the emergence of grain sorghum as a major Texas commercial crop. |

| | The 1994 Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) laid the groundwork for agriculture negotiations in the Doha Round. | | | Lastly, agriculture negotiations in the WTO is a clear example of increasing polarity in the WTO. | | | Leading up the meeting, developing countries and agriculture exporting countries, such as the Cairns Group, demanded that developed nations move to liberalize their markets by phasing out export subsidies and massive domestic supports, both of which distort trade in agriculture products. |

| | Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability |
| | Agricultural impacts, response, and adaptation are discussed concurrently because they are inseparable parts of the calculus of the vulnerability of agricultural systems to climate change. | | | Agriculture in the 20th century accomplished the remarkable achievement of increasing food supply at a faster rate than growth in demand, despite rapidly growing populations and per capita incomes. | | | Multiple pressures are being exerted on the agriculture sector, including the need to meet rising demand for food and fiber, resource degradation, and a variety of environmental changes (Section 5.3.2). |

| | Agriculture |
| | Sustainable agriculture aims to farm foods in a manner that is efficient and productive while conserving and improving the environment and local communities. | | | Instead, the agricultural systems rely on crop rotation, animal and plant manures, some hand weeding and biological pest control. | | | In both cases their use needs to be properly managed to reduce the risk of possible contamination of agricultural produce with pathogens (harmful bacteria, especially E. coli 0157) and to avoid the possible contamination of ground and surface waters. |
