    Agriculture was first started around the year 8,000 B.C.E. in Mesopotamia. There the plants grew along with food so humans could eat them. These first parts of farming faced many challenges with insects and pests eating away their crops. During the era of 1000 B.C.E. the Chinese began experimenting with elements such as mercury and other compounds to contain the insects. Other civilizations would use chemicals to contain pests. The usage of chemicals has occupied agriculture, and even more recently in the 1940’s inorganic substances composed of various elements were heavily used to contain the insects affecting the crops. The growth of many synthetic pesticides occurred during this time, the most common one was DDT. DDT was used the most…

    Farming has transformed so much over the years. Six thousand years ago, farmers had holding pens and growing fields (Shmaefsky 1). In today's world, farming is not that simple. Since farming has transformed, larger operations are taking away a lot of the mom and pop farms, and making them big industrial farms. Another change is the restaurant industry, which grew in the 1950s, causing the need for more crops, but in a shorter amount of time (Shmaefsky 37). Farmers are using Genetically Modified Organisms to farm…

    The economy, culture and environment all suffered from the evolution of agriculture, but still, agriculture does have an amazing impact on our lives today. During the Middle Ages, farming was simple and lacking efficiency. Farming wasn't complicated, but it wasn't necessarily effective during the Middle Ages. After much work and hours of labor we make it to modern farming, a huge leap from where farming was in the Middle Ages. Today we have advanced technology to cut down human labor, farming methods that get the job done faster, and staple crops to feed the world. Farming has come along way and revolutionized the way we live today, but with this, comes major setbacks and problems like overuse of water, destruction of habitats, massive growth of corporation, and increased use of GMOS. All the while when we try to deal with these problems, we end up getting caught up in population issues, with the world growing faster than we can count. With how much agriculture has grown and evolved since the Middle Ages, it's easy to imagine how much more advanced it could become. Hopefully, farmers and scientists will work together to create methods that help the environment provide jobs, and increase our crop yields, putting an end to hunger, and moving toward a greener…

    Agriculture is the world's most important industry. It provides us with all our food. It also supplies materials for two other basic needs, clothing and shelter. In addition, agriculture provides materials used in making many industrial products such as paints and medicines. About half the world's workers are employed in agriculture -far more than in any other industry. Agriculture is one of the world's oldest industries. It began to develop about 11,000 years ago in the Middle East. At that time, certain Middle Eastern tribes discovered how to grow plants from seeds and how to raise animals in captivity. By about 10,000 years ago, they had mastered these skills and begun to depend chiefly on farming food.…

Farming is carried out on small plots throughout most of the islands. Only about 1% of the land area is cultivated. The nature of the terrain limits the scope of farming, which is mainly a household industry. The main crops are vegetable onions okra and tomatoes, the last two raised mainly for export.…
