Farmers and livestock producers in every country are responsible for most of the supply of food that goes through grocery stores and markets in towns and cities. Fishing and forestry , too, provide food and fiber important for daily life. In developing countries, many farm families grow crops and raise animals for their own consumption. Even in developing countries, rural producers are finding it profitable to grow grains, vegetables, and fruits or harvest shrimp and fish that find ready customers in distant regional or global markets.

51. What Is Agriculture?
    agriculture, or farming, is the simplification of nature s food webs and the rechanneling of energy for human planting and animal consumption. Huh?  
    http://kids.mongabay.com/lesson_plans/lisa_algee/agriculture.html
    
    Extractions: This lesson plan was developed by Lisa M. Algee, an Environmental Education Ph D student at the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). Lisa runs a site called Kids Connected to Conservation and Culture which focuses on educating the next generation about environmental issues, such as deforestation, and what we can do as global citizens to curb these detrimental effects. What is agriculture? Agriculture, or farming, is the simplification of nature's food webs and the rechanneling of energy for human planting and animal consumption. Huh? You may ask. To simplify, agriculture involves redirecting nature's natural flow of the food web. The natural flow of the food web is-the sun provides light to plants. Plants convert sunlight into sugars which provide food for the plants(this process is called photosynthesis). Plants provide food for herbivores (plant-eating animals, i.e., sloths) and the herbivores provide food for carnivores (meat-eating animals, i.e., jaguars). Decomposers or bacteria, break down plants or animals that have died. Nutrients from the plants and animals go back into the soil and the whole process starts anew. What happens with agriculture is that this web is interrupted. Instead of having herbivores eat the plants, the plants are protected for human consumption. This means that not only are plant eating animals excluded from the food web, but also carnivorous animals and even decomposers. However, if a farmer is planting corn to feed their cattle, the cattle eat the corn to fatten up and then are eventually slaughtered for human consumption. Even though a herbivore (cow) is eating the plant (corn) the web in interrupted when the cow is killed for human consumption.

55. What Is Sustainable Agriculture?
    A detailed account of how sustainable agriculture integrates environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. From UC Davis.  
    http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/concept.htm
    
    Extractions: About UC SAREP Program Areas Grant Information Resources UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program Home Calendar Search Contact Us December 1997 A griculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fiber productivity soared due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favored maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labor demands to produce the majority of the food and fiber in the U.S. Although these changes have had many positive effects and reduced many risks in farming, there have also been significant costs.Prominent among these are topsoil depletion, groundwater contamination, the decline of family farms, continued neglect of the living and working conditions for farm laborers, increasing costs of production, and the disintegration of economic and social conditions in rural communities. A growing movement has emerged during the past two decades to question the role of the agricultural establishment in promoting practices that contribute to these social problems. Today this movement for sustainable agriculture is garnering increasing support and acceptance within mainstream agriculture. Not only does sustainable agriculture address many environmental and social concerns, but it offers innovative and economically viable opportunities for growers, laborers, consumers, policymakers and many others in the entire food system.
