    Agriculture involves the cultivation of soil to grow crops and the raising of animals. It is the science and art of farming. Agriculture began around 10,000-15,000 years ago when people first domesticated plants and animals, adapting them to live in close association with humans through selective breeding so they could benefit from and care for them. Agriculture provides food, fiber, and other products through a systematic and useful management process involving production, provision, processing, marketing, and distribution.
