Agriculture is the cornerstone of the prosperity of the agrarian region, since it is this that has a significant impact on the life of society. It is difficult to overestimate its role and importance, given the fact that more and more people tend to eat organic food.
The importance of agriculture
Agriculture is the way of life for most of the population. Its main function is food production. Since not a single person can live without food, this industry is developing very successfully, thanks to which it is the basis of the agricultural region.
A significant proportion of agricultural products are passed on to consumers after they undergo industrial processing. Agriculture is a source of raw materials for both food and light industry. The agrarian region is also developing due to the fact that new spheres of consumption of agricultural goods appear. This is especially true for those products that are rich in carbohydrates. With its help, ethanol is produced, which is associated with an increase in the octane number of gasoline.
Modern agriculture is widely interconnected with other manufacturing sectors, so it can be said with confidence that the agricultural region is based on successful farming.
Features of the development of agriculture
The success of the development of agriculture largely depends on scientific and technological progress. The process of industrialization of agriculture includes several stages, each of which is based on new technologies that not only facilitate the work of people, but also increase production.
The natural factor, which includes land resources, soil fertility and agro-climatic resources, has a great impact on the entire agrarian region, as well as on agriculture. Natural conditions shape not only agricultural areas, but also the main trade flows of goods.
Types of agricultural production
There are two main types of agricultural production that determine the prosperity of an agricultural area. The first type is typical for developing countries. It is characterized by a variety of economic structures. Both subsistence and semi-subsistence farming, which is focused on meeting the needs of the population, has become widespread in such countries. However, a highly specialized market economy is also developing, the goods of which are supplied to world markets.
The second type is typical for economically developed countries. It is based on a high level of intensification of production, its chemicalization and mechanization, as well as on the use of modern technologies of cattle breeding and agriculture. Thus, we can conclude that the agrarian region provides a decent standard of living for the population in all countries in various ways, which are based on successful agriculture.
