Agriculture is the practice of farming, including cultivating crops, raising animals, and producing food, fiber, and other products to sustain human life. Agriculture is a fundamental part of human civilization and has evolved over thousands of years to meet the needs of growing populations, different ecosystems, and different cultures. Modern agriculture has become more advanced with the use of technology and machinery. The creation of genetically modified and hybrid crops has increased yields and efficiency.
