Agricultural scienceAgricultural science (also called agronomy) is a broad multidisciplinary field that encompasses the parts of exact, natural, economic, and social sciences that are used in the practice and understanding of agriculture. (Veterinary science is often excluded from the definition.) Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Agriculture and agricultural science 2 Agricultural science: a local science 3 Agricultural sciences evolution 4 Agricultural sciences and agriculture crisis 5 Fields of agricultural science 6 Agricultural scientists Agriculture and agricultural science The two terms are often confused. However, they cover different concepts: Agriculture is activities that transform the environment for the production of animals and plants for human use. Agriculture concerns techniques, including the application of agronomic research. Agronomy is research and development related to studying and improving agriculture. Agricultural sciences include research and development on:
