This document discusses agriculture as a primary industry. It defines agriculture as the cultivation of crops and rearing of animals for food and raw materials. Agriculture is described as a system with inputs like soil, seeds, and fertilizers that go through processes like watering crops and removing weeds to create outputs such as fruits, eggs, and animals. The document also categorizes farms based on their purpose as either subsistence or commercial farming, and their inputs in terms of physical resources, labor, and capital as either intensive or extensive farming. Different types of farming are outlined such as arable, livestock, and mixed.
