Teaching Agricultural Science In Schools

Agriculture is a life supporting engine for the sustenance of the living beings especially higher and lower animals and has daily relevance to man's activities. It is a naturally endowed discipline with very rich heritage of the life and serves every man in a way comparable to how the heart services the human body. In a broad sense, agriculture can be defined as the production, conser-vation, regulation of the basic raw material used for food from plants and animals and then the availability of shelter and comfort that are best available for the consumers' uses. Agricultural Science on the other hand can be defined as an integrated subject in which all areas of science-Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathemat-ics, Geography, Genetics, Physiology, statistics etc. are well combined and applied with systematic production of crops and animals resources in addition to intelligent uses of soil and natural resources for Man's Uses.
