Agriculture Magazines Questions
Agriculture Magazines?
Im writing a 5 page report on the pros and cons of factory farming/ free range meat. I need a magazine article on my sources page. Any suggestions? (I COULD just ask you for the pros and cons, but if I were to do that, then I would have to list yahoo answers on the reference page, which Im pretty sure will guarantee a failing grade.) So could you give me links to some reputable non biased articles on the subject?
Agriculture is the production, processing, marketing, and use of foods, fibers and byproducts from plant crops and animals. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of human civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants (i.e. crops) creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. Agriculture is also observed in certain species of ant and termite.
Agriculture encompasses a wide variety of specialties and techniques, including ways to expand the lands suitable for plant raising, by digging water-channels and other forms of irrigation. Cultivation of crops on arable land and the pastoral herding of livestock on rangeland remain at the foundation of agriculture. In the past century there has been increasing concern to identify and quantify various forms of agriculture. In the developed world the range usually extends between sustainable agriculture (e.g. permaculture or organic agriculture) and intensive farming (e.g. industrial agriculture).
