When it comes to production, total production of primary crops increased by 53 percent between 2000 and 2019, hitting a record high of 9.4 billion tonnes in 2019. Half of global primary crop production is made up of just four crops: sugar cane, maize, wheat and rice.
Different studies show that before the invention of agriculture the population of the world was less than 15 million inhabitants. As argued by historians and anthropologists the civilization was made possible only because of the expansion of the agriculture. From the tie of civilization itself crop alteration has been practiced. Crop alteration can be done by breeding practices which change the genetic composition of a plant. By this process crop with more advantageous characteristics are developed like drought-tolerance, resistance to pests, larger fruits or seeds, etc. the work of geneticist Gregor Mendel has brought a lot of development in plant breeding. Works of Gregor Mendel made plant breeders to understand genetics and introduce new techniques in the work. Self-pollination, plant selection with desirable traits and cross-pollination, and molecular techniques that genetically modify the organism, are some of the techniques used in crop breeding. The understanding of agricultural principles along with the principles of animal and plant biology, civil, electrical, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering is called Agricultural engineering where engineering science and technology is used for agricultural production and processing. 2ff7e9595c
