Industrial agriculture views the farm as a factory with inputs. It is mainly concerns with the production of plant products like cereals, millets, oil seed crops, pulses, fibre crops, etc. Animals also provide meat, milk, fish, poultry, honey, animal hides and skins, animal oils and fibres. The industry has progressed well in past few years by using various techniques and chemicals fertilizers and advanced farm practices. The industrial revolution also came around to influencing agriculture, with several decennials of delay, bringing it from an almost exclusively extensive practice to intensive cultivation, aimed towards the maximum productivity per surface unit. This is how industrial agriculture was born, experiencing its boom at the end of the 50’s and deeply upsetting the rural economy, agronomic science, as well as the landscape itself. The present book deals with an overall picture of industrial agriculture. The present task can only accomplished with the feedback from various sources.
