What Are Agriculture Issues?

Agriculture crosses many lines, boundaries, and groups of people. Anytime there are such lines there will be issues. People don't all agree and this creates conflict. Before taking on the issues, you have to learn about the issues and people behind them.

Agriculture is how food is grown and produced. This is a global activity and it covers many types of food, regions, and people.
