Abstract
Agriculture is what led to the rise of civilization. Agriculture encompasses a wide range of skills and techniques, including ways to expand the lands suitable for crops, digging canals and various forms of irrigation. In today’s world, due to concerns about lack of resources, it is required to take agriculture towards sustainable agriculture (e.g., organic farming) or intensive farming (e.g., industrial), so that we can meet our needs in the future. In this study, it is tried to review the history of agriculture and explain intensive and extensive agriculture. In general, we can argue that modern agronomy, plant breeding, pesticides, fertilizers and technological advances significantly increase crop yields are great steps have been taken in the last century.
