more specific then directional strategies and provide the primary methods for achieving the vision (adapting to the environment)

- these stratagies determine the scope of the organization and specify how the organization will expand scope, reduce scope or maintain scope

People or societies that are farmers therefore promote agricultural interest ext.

-Where agrarian people and societies are located is not generally near cities ext. but these types of people are essential to the way that we live and our ability to live in cities.

Commercial agriculture characterized by integration of different steps in the food-processing industry, usually through ownership by large corporations.

            - It influences how things are grown and what people eat

The use of machinery in agriculture, like tractors ext.

            - Makes it a lot faster for farmers to yield crop

The land that we farm on and what we choose to put were on our fields.

            - Effects how much yield one gets from their plants.

Through time nomadic people noticed the growing of plants in a cycle and began to domesticate them and use for there own use. Carl Sauer points out vegetative planting and seed agriculture as the original forms. He also points out that vegetative planting likely was originated in SE Asia and seed agriculture originated in W. India, N. China and Ethiopia.

            -Without the development of agriculture we would still have a relatively small and likely uneducated population

The deliberate effort to modify a portion of Earth’s surface through the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock for subsistence or economic gain.

            -It has influenced the growth of areas and human society

Domestication of animals for selling or using byproducts.

-Helped us obtain meat with out having to go out and kill our food right before dinner.

The cultivation of aquatic organisms especially for food

            -Allowed us to use the sea and its abundant sources of food for our benefit

The revolution of biotechnology and the use of it in societies.

            - See reasoning for below term

Using living organisms in a useful way to produce commercial products like pest resistant crops.

-Has helped the farmers grow a more bountiful harvest through the using of pesticides ext.

A "staple" grain is a type of edible grain, usually wheat or corn, on which a group of people are dependent for survival and/or nourishment and provides the essential sustenance for those people eating it.

Grains, also called cereal or cereal grains, are the seeds of grasses (gramineae).

Agriculture undertaken primarily to generate products for sale off the farm.

            -Allowed people to move away from farms- fueled industrial revolution

The practice of rotating use of different fields from crop to crop each year, to avoid exhausting the soil.

            -Takes up large areas of land but keeps land usable for future generations

Regions were there is agricultural activity

- Areas with agricultural activity generally are not a place were a big city would be located- affects locations of different areas.

The “farming” and sale/distribution of milk and milk products.

-Gets us calcium, allows for people to move to the city because there is a way of getting milk or milk products.

The process of spread of a feature or trend from one place to another over time.

            -Influences the development of some regions faster than others

Harvesting twice a year from the same land

            -Can cause agricultural exhaustion making people move away from the land

Economic activity (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary):

Primary: Involves jobs like lumber and mining

            Secondary: Manufacturing products and assembling raw materials

Tertiary: The service sector that provides us with transportation, communication and utilities

            Quaternary:economic activities concerned with research, information gathering, and administration

            Quinary:the most advanced form of quaternary activities consisting of high-level decision making for large corporations or high-level scientific research

                        - All of these jobs are necessary in the world

The destruction of the environment for the purpose of farming. (Using pesticides that drain in to the water and soil and pollute them overuse of land causing the desert like conditions of desertification (dust bowl).

            -Doing harm to the environment through pesticides and causing desertification have horrible long term effect on humans and their future.

Shifting Cultivation: Use many fields for crop growing each field is used for a couple years then left fallow for a relatively long time.

            Nomadic herding/pastorilism:Based on herding domesticated animals

- Effect the way that some in the world to live and were they fall in demographic transition
