What is the relationship between agricultural production and lifestyle?

The relationship between agriculture and animal husbandry in agro-ecosystem can be summarized into three types:

(1) supply and demand. The relationship between supply and demand in agriculture and animal husbandry is the relationship between feed and fertilizer.

(2) Chain relationship. Feed is more for the development of animal husbandry, fertilizer is increased for the development of animal husbandry, and fertilizer is increased for the increase of agricultural production, that is, one increase in production causes both sides to increase production, and one increase in production causes both sides to increase production several times, forming a chain reaction.

(3) restrictive relationship. A considerable part of the material and energy obtained by animal husbandry from feed is consumed in livestock metabolism, which is stored in livestock products, and the nutrients in excreta only account for a part of feed. Similarly, agriculture cannot supply all the nutrients obtained from fertilizers to animal husbandry. In terms of material circulation, both agriculture and animal husbandry restrict each other's full development.

Introduction to agriculture

Agriculture is a production department that people use the life functions of animals and plants to transform natural substances and energy into products that human needs. At present, agriculture is divided into two categories: plant cultivation and animal husbandry.

Land is an irreplaceable basic means of production in agriculture, and the working objects are mainly living animals and plants. The production time is inconsistent with the working time, which is greatly influenced by natural conditions and has obvious regional and seasonal characteristics.

Agriculture is the source of food and clothing for human beings, the foundation of survival and the primary condition of all production. It provides grain, non-staple food, industrial raw materials, capital and export materials for other sectors of the national economy. The countryside is also the largest market for industrial products and the source of labor.
