For which it helps upliftment of rural population and contribution in the economic benefits.
Main aspect of agriculture:
- Soil Cultivation
- Crop Production
- Raising of Livestock
- Soil Management
- Empowerment of rural population
- Environmental sustainability
- Economic growth
- Food security
Soil Cultivation:
Soil Cultivationis is a plouging and drilling of soil for breaking clods and making levelling by different agriculture machinery to smoothen soil for retain moisture in the soil. So that seed can absorb water from soil to start her embryonic process.
