Answer preview

Science supported human civilization as early farmers invented the first tools to increase output. Today the contribution of science in agriculture is sophisticated and integrates all major disciplines of natural science. These include Chemistry, Physics, geology, and Biology.  Agriculture is the art of producing food and other desired products through the cultivation of plants and rearing domestic animals. In the contemporary world, agriculture extends beyond providing food to the community and is a source of wealth in many countries. Developing countries export agricultural products and import industrial products—developed countries like the US export particular agricultural products to designated markets where demand is highest…
