Agriculture
and other primary economic activities
Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce
food and fiber.
![Page 2: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Three sectors of economic activity:
1. Primary (agriculture, mining, etc.)
2. Secondary (industry)
3. Tertiary (service)
a. Quaternary
b. Quinary

Early peoples were hungers and gatherers, and by 8000 B.C.E., many had settled down
because they were able to cultivate crops
and domesticate animals

Changes brought about by the Neolithic Revolution
1. increase in reliable food supplies
2. rapid increase in total human population
3. job specialization
4. widening of gender differences
5. development of distinction between settled people and nomads

Carl Sauer: first cultivation was vegetative planting, or planting from existing plants (cutting stems or dividing roots)
![Page 6: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Second Agricultural Revolution
Western Europe, 1600s
use of fertilizers
improved collars for draft animals so they could pull heavier loads
Led to Industrial Revolution!

Subsistence agriculture
most prevalent in LDCs and is the production of only enough food to feed the farmer’s family, with little or no surplus to sell.
In LDCs, high percentage of people in subsistence agriculture
Work done with hand tools and animal power
Small farm size

Commercial Agriculture
Farmers and ranchers sell all of their output for money and buy family food at stores.
Dominant in more developed countries

Types of Commercial Farming
1. Mixed crop and livestock farming
• U.S. west of the Appalachian mountains
• Europe from France through Russia
• grow both crops, much of which is fed to livestock, and livestock
• practice crop rotation

What model is this?
RIGHT!
Von Thunen
Intensive agriculture closest to city
Extensive agriculture farther from city

Third Agricultural Revolution
began in mid 20th century and is based on new, higher-yielding varieties of crops developed in laboratories and plant nurseries through biotechnology, the use of genetically altered crops in agriculture and DNA manipulation of livestock in order to increase production.
![Page 34: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Green Revolution
the use of new higher-yield seeds
the expanded use of fertilizer

![Page 36: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Environmental Impacts of Modern Agriculture
1. Erosion
![Page 37: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
2. Changes in the organic content of soil
Desertification
![Page 38: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
3. Depletion of natural vegetation
![Page 39: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
4. Presence of chemicals in soil and ground water
![Page 40: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
5. Loss of available farmland
![Page 41: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
How do we ensure future food supplies?
1. Expansion of agricultural land has been the most common way, but there are problems with this method.
11% of world’s land is currently cultivated
most of remaining land is not arable
land has been lost to desertification
land has been lost to urbanization
![Page 42: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2. Increase land productivity
![Page 43: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
3. Identification of new food sources
![Page 44: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
4. Improved distribution of food
![Page 45: Agriculture and other primary economic activities Agriculture: the deliberate tending of crops and livestock in order to produce food and fiber.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e955503460f94b99c10/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
We’re done with
agriculture!
