FORESTRY EXAMPLES OF FORESTRY PRODUCTS ARE : LUMBER PLYWOOD VENEER COMPOSITION BOARD PAPER

DOMESTICATION REFERS TO HUMANS BRINGING PLANTS AND ANIMALS TO BE NEAR THEM AND THEN PROVIDING FOR THEIR PROTECTION AND GROWTH THE MAIN BENEFIT IS THAT IT INCREASED THE FOOD SUPPLY

INVENTIONS / IMPROVEMENTS CROP ROTATION SEED PLANTING MACHINES COTTON GIN HARVESTING MACHINES GENETIC ENGINEERING HYBRID SEED PESTICIDES

AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY INCLUDES ALL OF THE PROCESSES INVOLVED IN GETTING FOOD, FIBER, AND SHELTER TO THE CONSUMER CONSIST OF THREE MAIN DIVISIONS: SUPPLIES/SERVICE PRODUCTION AGRICULTURE MARKETING/PROCESSING

SUPPLIES / SERVICE MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT SEED CHEMICALS FEED AND ANIMAL MEDICINES

PRODUCTION AGRICULTURE GRAIN FARMERS - CORN, RICE, WHEAT FIBER FARMERS - COTTON, FLAX SPECIALIZED FOOD PRODUCTION - VEGETABLES, FRUIT, BERRIES, NUTS TREE FARMERS - TIMBER/ORNAMENTALS

PRODUCTION AGRICULTURE LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS - CATTLE, SHEEP, HOGS, POULTRY, HORSES AQUATIC ANIMALS - CATFISH, CRAWFISH, SHRIMP SPECIALIZED ANIMALS - FOX, LLAMA, BUFFALO, ETC.

MARKETING PROCESSING HARVESTING PACKING PROCESSED-CANNED OR FROZEN TRUCKED TO THE SUPERMARKET

DIVISIONS OF AGRICULTURE THAT MAKE LIFE BETTER ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES RECREATION

ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE GROWING OF FLOWERS GROWING OF SHRUBS LAWNS

RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES SOIL-PROTECT FROM EROSION WATER-PROTECT FROM POLLUTION AIR-PROTECT FROM POLLUTION WILDLIFE-HUNTING/FISHING

RECREATION HIKING FISHING HUNTING RIDING HORSES RODEOING ZOOS

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE CONSUMER PREFERENCE CLIMATE - TYPE OF WEATHER CUSTOMS - TYPE OF FOOD PEOPLE EAT STANDARD OF LIVING - INCOME OF THE PEOPLE AND PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO THEM

CONTRASTS BETWEEN NATIONS IN AGRICULTURE MECHANIZATION- TRACTORS,EQUIP. IMPROVED CROPS - HIGHER YIELDS COMMERCE - TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE FACILITIES, METHODS OF BUYING AND SELLING PRODUCTS EDUCATION OF PEOPLE - VARY SOIL AND CLIMATE - POOR SOIL EX.
