Agricultural land

Agriculture is one of the important branches of material production that includes the cultivation of crops and the breeding of animals and their primary processing. Agriculture produces foodstuff for populations and primary products for many branches of industry.

Land is the basic means of production for agriculture. Its special features affect the patterns of concentration and specialization of agricultural production. Living organisms such as plants and animals are also means of production. Both economic and biological laws control development of this branch. Means of production and labor are used seasonally. More than 20% of the gross output of agriculture (seeds, feeds, animal yield) is used in a subsequent production cycle.
