	Agriculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and other desired products by the cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals (livestock).
		It may also refer to industrial agriculture, (often refered to as factory farming) long prevalent in "developed" nations and increasingly so elsewhere, which consists of obtaining financial income from the cultivation of land to yield produce, the commercial raising of animals (animal husbandry), or both.
		Agriculture is also short for the study of the practice of agriculture—more formally known as agricultural science.

	PAKISTAN AGRICULTURE — 2003
		Pakistan is known for its excellent network of irrigation canals and rich agricultural lands, with three major reservoirs — Tarbela, Mangla and Chashma, 23 barrages, 12 huge inter-river irrigation canals, 59,200 kilometers irrigation canals and more than 106 kilometers of water courses and 107,000 numbers of field channels.
		Pakistan is a land of promise and tremendous development possibilities by virtue of its unique geographical location, fast acquisitional talents of its people, and richness of natural and cultural resources.
		The agricultural crops (wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, maize, millet, vegetables and forestry); and sub-sectors (livestock, fishery) are backbone of economy and these are badly affected due to shortage of water in the country.

	Employment Sector: PAKISTAN: Employment, Output and Productivity-Nomaan Majid
		The decomposition exercise for agriculture shows that agricultural output growth was driven predominantly by the employment effect in the 1970s, largely by the productivity effect in the 1980s and then again largely by the employment effect in the 1990s.
		In general it may be arguable that in Pakistan, although poverty and real wages are related inversely, as should be the case in an economy in which hired labour constitutes more than half of the employed, both high and low GDP growth situations have led to the alleviation of poverty.
		What is significant about the growth of output and employment in the agricultural sector in Pakistan, is not so much their rates of growth, but the changing composition of the labour force on the one hand and the increased variability in the pattern of its production over time, on the other.
