General Agriculture is the broad study of the principles and practices involved in the production of crops and livestock. It includes various disciplines such as agronomy (crop science), horticulture (fruit and vegetable production), animal husbandry (raising animals), soil science, agricultural economics, and agricultural engineering. The goal of general agriculture is to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and productivity of agricultural systems to meet the food, fiber, and fuel needs of the population. It also addresses issues like pest control, irrigation, farm management, and the environmental impact of farming practices.
