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.
