One of the latest developments in agriculture invention is the bio-technology and genetical revolution. Bio-technology and genetics have changed the face of agriculture and farming. New ways and technology has come up in farming with this revolution.

New technology of farming has been developed by scientists and agriculturalists and has been named as urban farming. This is a big step in agriculture invention. Scientists have developed new technique called “hydroponics”, where plants are grown using mineral nutrient solutions instead of the normally used soil. Another new technique is called vertical farming where agriculturalists are growing crops in skyscrapers. This saves a lot of land problems and is a new beginning and a huge step in agriculture invention.

Man and times have grown tremendously in history and so has farming. Agriculture invention is growing as time grows by and it will take man places.

Before this came the grain elevator in 1840’s.it was used in separating the grain from the wheat plant. Soon the cotton gin followed which was used to separate the seeds and the hulls and the other stuff not required from the cotton. This was quite a successful agriculture invention. Man also developed the corn picker.

The most revolutionary agriculture invention was the Tractor which was invented in the 1940’s.this was the time when hand power was transformed into machine power. The tractor took over all manual work which used to take lot of time and energy of the farmers this agriculture invention took farming to a different level.

To add on major agriculture inventions fertilizers were developed in early 1900’s. This accelerated the growth of the crops and produced very healthy crops too. A little later peticides were also produced which helped in killing all the harmful pests which destroyed the crops so this invention brought in a lot of development in agri-products. Open geared gas tractors were also made during this time. Disk harrow which is a machine used to cut the grain stubble which is left behind in the field after harvesting is over was also a big agricultural invention. This saved a lot of manual labor and time too as a machine can work much faster than humans.

One more important type of agriculture is – ‘Horticulture’. This is the growing of fruits and flowers! However, the foundation of this type of farming lies in the efficient system of transport. While all the Mediterranean countries specialize in fruit cultivation, the Netherlands is world famous for its cultivation of beautiful tulips!

Even if agricultural activities are non-commercial, they are essential as subsistence agriculture – wherein the farm produce is consumed mostly by the farmer’s household. In fact, in the simplest terms, agriculture is the art and science of raising plant life from the soil and, hence, it is extremely important because it supports the humans for their subsistence!
