Agriculture: Every Day, Every Way
Agriculture is making things grown on farms, like plants and animals, into things we use.
Your day may have started with agriculture! Think about waking up this morning. Your bedding and pajamas probably had fibers from cotton plants. Here are some other things that come from agriculture:
- Soap is made from fat from cattle and oil from plants such as palm, corn, and soybeans.
- Cereal, eggs, milk, bacon, pancakes, buttered toast, and juice are all from agriculture!
- Paper for lunch bags and notebooks comes from another agricultural crop—trees.
- Tires on your bus, car, or bike can be made from plants and animal fat.
