Talk:Agriculture

Should this page involve the history of world agriculture or just talk about the current state of agriculture, or should it be involving industrialized farming versus small operation farms?

Also, look at the following:

"negative effects are: Surplus of nitrogen and phosphorus in rivers and lakes Detrimental effects of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and other biocides Conversion of natural ecosystems of all types into arable land Consolidation of diverse biomass into a few species Soil erosion Depletion of minerals in the soil Particulate matter, including ammonia and ammonium off-gasing from animal waste contributing to air pollution Weed Science - feral plants and animals"

How can "Weed Science" be considered a "negative effect"?

This article needs a lot of work.


 * This book is only just being developed. It is a book, rather than an article, and therefore its scope can be as wide or small as the authors choose. It looks like it is intended to be a practical guide to agricultural based on the content created so far, but this could change QU TalkQu 15:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

OK. That makes sense. I have much experience in conventional farming methods and industrial farming vs. family farming, so my focus will be on those topics. I look forward to contributing to this book.

The next thing I am wondering is how we are going to split the book. I think there should be a TOC that includes all the topics that will be covered. I am unsure how we go about collaborating on this TOC, though. This is my first wikibook.--Wizardbill (discuss • contribs) 15:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Deals with the processing, preserving and quality.

ROLES OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN ENHANCING NATIONAL FOOD SUPPLY

Food sci and tech is ;

* Improving Food Processing And Preservation Techniques.

* Improve Existing Food Products.

* Developing New And Synthetic. Foods (those Manufactured In The    Labs).

* Developing Varieties, Safe And Convenient Products.

* Improving The Nutritional Value Of Food And Minimising Nutrient Loss     At An Economical Price.

* It Also Helps In Bridging The Gap Between Seasonal Gluts And Shortage (Through Helping In The Long Term Storage Stability Of Products).

* It Also Helped In Improving Diets Of Vulnerable Groups Such As Diabetics And Malnurition And Formulation Of Diets To Such Groups.

* However The Food Scientist And Technologist Are Responsible In Seeing That The Crops Harvested, Eggs Laid And Milk Produced, Fish Caught, Animals And Birds Caught Reaches The Consumer In A Most Acceptable, Nutritious, Safe And Wholesome Condition At An Affordable Price.
