An agricultural system refers to the methods and practices used to cultivate crops and raise livestock for food, fiber, and other products. This system includes various components such as soil management, crop rotation, and pest control, which work together to enhance productivity and sustainability. Different types of agricultural systems exist, including subsistence farming, where farmers grow food primarily for their own consumption, and commercial agriculture, which focuses on producing crops and livestock for sale in markets. These systems can vary based on climate, technology, and cultural practices, influencing how food is produced globally.
