 Definition of agriculture
Agriculture is all work that transforming the natural environment for the
production of plants and animals.
I-Introduction
Agriculture which is a process by which human being manage their ecosystems
and control their biological cycle of domestic species in order to produce food
and other resources useful to society is nowadays a very important sector
whose environment continues to evolve every day. This sector is most often
involved in the development of a country. In our duty, we will first address
what this field allows the development of a country, secondly, the
disadvantages of this agriculture and finally the approaches to solutions
II-Body
Agriculture plays a big role in the development of a country as it contributes to
alleviating poverty and promoting economic expansion and sustainable
development in less developed countries. Agriculture intervene in food and
helps to practice It also contributes« Food security » allowing individuals To
have physical, social and economic access To food as Well as « Food self-
sufficiency » which is the satisfaction of all dictary needs by natural production
alone. Agriculture also allows the presence of a wide variety of crops in the
country.
Agriculture also contributes to the development of import and export in the
country to the extent that countries will consume their agricultural products
and the rest will be sold to countries that need them. This will allow the
increase of the country's capital which will be used for the infrastructure of its
country (roads, schools). Agriculture shapes landscapes and provides
ecosystem services. The absence of agriculture would lead to a homogenization
of landscapes, which would end up being covered with forest. When cultural
practices respect the diversity of Flore and fauna, agricultural activity largely
contributes to cultivated biodiversity through the multiplicity of its cultures and
the creation of a particular biotope.
Indeed, agriculture boots the local economy. Agriculture activity, qualified as
primary sector, that is To say on which the pillars of secondary and tertiary
sector rest, although losing momentum, remains on essential element of valid
creation and local economic dynamism in the many territories far from the

tertiary economic centers. It intervenes dynamically in the landscapes and
tourists development of regional spaces. The disappearance of agricultural
activity would mean the transformation of rural areas into essentially
« dormant ».
However, agriculture also has certain disadvantages such as the use of chemical
fertilizers which can harm human health. As well as the emission of greenhouse
gases which destroy the ozone layer. Agriculture has any problems as: on a
natural level: drought, floods, harmful and devastating insects, climatically
anomalies are factors which harm agriculture and therefore the development
of the country.
III-Conclusion
All in all, agriculture can constitute a factor for the development of a country if
its problems are resolved. Here are some approaches to solutions for this: the
training of a qualified workforce, the popularization of harness cultivation and
agricultural mechanization, carrying out agro-land reforms.
