Agriculture as a system
Agricultural enterprises-crop or livestock-deal with such concepts as
labor supply, marketing, finances, natural resources, genetic stock,
nutrition, equipment, and hazards. While it is possible to effectively
manipulate each mechanism of successful farming individually, better
results can often be obtained by treating the farming operation as a
system. The interactions, then, among system components may become more
important than how each component functions by itself. Treating
production operations holistically offers greater management
flexibility, provides for more environmentally and economically sound
practices, and creates safer and healthier conditions for workers and
for farm animals. NIFA staff provides leadership to land-grant
university partners and other grantees as they conduct research,
education, and extension activities in programs related directly and
indirectly to agricultural systems.
