Dear users,

I work for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). As part of a broader UN-Wikipedia project and in line with FAO’s Open Access policy, I have been adding content, recent estimates, maps and graphs from some FAO publications to selected Wikipedia pages (full list available here).

When checking pages containing content related to food and agriculture, I noticed that the Agriculture page might be updated with content from FAO publications on agriculture and, in particular, FAO annual flagship "The State of Food and Agriculture".

I began adding content as is from free-licensed publications (see OTRS permissions) as well as rephrased content from FAO and non-FAO publications and resources. I already included a new paragraph on "Agricultural Mechanization" and made some changes to the overall text by including additional relevant information, editing small inaccuracies, and by rephrasing content – if needed.

I therefore aim to keep updating the page with more recent estimates from the latest editions of The State of Food and Agriculture as well as other FAO and non-FAO publications and resources. DanSD19 (talk) 14:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC) Reply

Coprophagia vandalism

the page is edit locked, and someone has pasted the content of the coprophagia at the top. Someone please remove that 160.19.3.249 (talk) 03:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC) Reply

It was actually vandalism at an included other template file, so even editing this article wouldn't fix it. I fixed it there. Thanks for bringing it to attention. DMacks (talk) 03:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC) Reply

Lack of irrigation facilities

[edit ]
Latest comment: 3 years ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

These crops are totally depended on the water facility (Figure 3), Due to lack of water facilities, the farmers may lose their crops, and the annual income will be low. Therefore, farmers have to take loan for their daily household expenses and other needs. 106.193.65.244 (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2023 (UTC) Reply

Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops, and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets. It provides most of the world’s food and fabrics and woods for construction and paper products. Cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products. These products, as well as the agricultural methods used, may vary from one part of the world to another. Graceyy v (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC) Reply

History and crop yields

[edit ]
Latest comment: 2 years ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

The History sections should probably say something about the evolution of crop yields and how they skyrocketed during the Industrial Revolution due to chemical fertililzers and mechanization. As a stepstone I leave here a link to an article that I think is relevant in ourworldindata.org Noliscient (talk) 07:51, 20 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
