At the beginning of human life on earth, just live from foraging on the forest products directly. The next development, more and more members of the group, then there is a place to settle and begin farming on the land around their homes and began raising cattle and formed the yard.
After that, growing in the forest to clear land for cultivation, so it can only be planted a few years ago to move, often known as the land moves.
The increasing population, these systems can not be maintained, then trying to keep the level of soil fertility and becoming known cultivation techniques (agronomy).
Imbalances increase of population than the addition of food products to be subject studied by the field of Agronomy. Among other efforts with the expansion, the use of high yielding varieties, improved management in various acts of agronomy and its implementation.
Human development has sought to cultivate plants in the world is estimated 350,000 species, into a plant which is useful for life. It is estimated, agricultural crops worldwide could reach 10,000 - 20,000 species of. The number of plants that are economically suited to human activity may be about 1,000 - 2,000 species of. Fifteen species are complementary parts of the world major food crops: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, barlai, sugar cane and sugar beet, potatoes, yams and cassava, soybeans, peanuts and peanut jogo; banana and coconut.
Annual production in million tonnes of the world's 30 species of important crops. In Indonesia until now known six agricultural system: cultivation, yard tegal system, system of rice fields and the plantation system. Agricultural activity is the manufacture of organic material (sugar, flour, lignin, etc.) Of inorganic substances (water, carbon dioxide, etc.), with its factory located in the cells of green leaves, and energy cahayamatahari.
Since the fields of breeding, until the management of the plant and it is very broad, since the seed grows to its environmental management.
