  7. Facets of Agriculture • What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word Agriculture? • Most people associate farming with agriculture.

  8. Production Agriculture • Production Agriculture is the process of raising plants and animals for food, fiber, and fuel. • “Farming”, also know as production agriculture, only counts for a small portion of the industry. • Less than 2% of Americans are involved in production Agriculture

  9. Areas of Study in Ag • Food Science • Forestry • Marketing • Natural resource management • Plant Scientist • Soil Scientist • Agribusiness • Agricultural Education • Agricultural Law and Policy • Animal Science • Aquaculture • Biotechnology • Communications

  10. What Agriculture Produces • A Common view of agriculture: Production Agriculture  Food and Fiber

  11. Agriculture Production Industry • Agricultural Services • Mechanics, Computer technicians, irrigation managers, agronomist, loan officers • Agricultural Supplies • Fertilizers, chemicals, machinery and implements, animal feed • Research and Development • Geneticists, crop and animal scientists, bio- technicians, plant breeder

  12. Once Produced, then what? • Products of agriculture are called commodities. • Commodities require post-harvest inputs

  13. Post-Harvest Inputs • Processing • Packaging, canning/freezing, slaughtering, combining commodities for consumer use • Marketing • Advertising, product packaging, distribution systems • Research and Development • Food Scientists, chemists, commodity research • Transportation • Land, rail, air, and water

  14. Agribusiness • All of the inputs and production required for agricultural commodities to be developed and delivered are called agribusiness. • Over 45% of all Americans work in agribusiness related careers!

  15. Ticket out the Door • List 5 key points that are important to remember from this presentation.
