About Agriculture

Agriculture is the practice of growing and managing crops and rearing livestock such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and fish to obtain food and non-food products like milk, fruits and vegetables, grains, meat, cotton, leather, and gum for use in various industries. There are various types of agriculture practices, including Subsistence Agriculture, Commercial Agriculture, Organic Farming, Agroforestry, Horticulture, Mixed Farming, Aquaculture, Vertical Farming, and Agrotourism - depending on the resources available and the needs of the consumers. Professionals associated with agriculture are responsible for the effective management of these practices to ensure food security and availability to people and efficiently exercise government policies for the conservation of the environment. A B.Voc in Agriculture trains students in the fundamental understanding of these practices so that they can make a career in the agriculture domain.
