Modern Agriculture

Engineering and technology is heavily utilized in modern agriculture. Biological and physical sciences are also advancing agricultural production. Fields requiring specialized understanding of agricultural engineers includes, but not limited to Irrigation, Drainage, Conservation, and Sanitary Engineering.
One area of agriculture where plant production is advancing rapidly is Hydroponics; a method for growing plants without soil - Usually in an inert media such as Rockwool and fed re-circulated, Oxygen and nutrient rich water solution.
Because Hydroponics is not dependent on soil, this advance plant cultivation method will allow many people in extremely dry regions like parts of Africa, for example, to cultivate plants for food and other resources. Hydroponics can also increase food production -a concern for the growing population.
Plant genetics and breeding offers nice benefits to farm productivity. Genetics has also turned livestock breeding into a science.
