Agricultural production is the range of practices and approaches that are employed to transform agricultural inputs (e.g. labour, knowledge, land, water, seeds, fertilisers, pesticides) into agricultural outputs (e.g. yields and environmental impacts). Different types of agricultural production include precision farming, agroecology, organic farming, and intensive livestock farming.
