Agriculture
Agriculture is a major productive sector that supports human life, ensures food security, is the basis for economic growth, and contributes significantly to sustainable development. It includes crop production, animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry management, and related agribusiness activities. In addition to ensuring food security for the population, agriculture in the world creates millions of jobs, provides raw materials for industries, increases trade and foreign exchange earnings, and accelerates rural development. Modern agriculture, based on science, technology, research, and innovation, plays an important role in increasing productivity, strengthening environmental protection, and coping with climate change. In Ethiopia, agriculture is the mainstay of the national economy and contributes significantly to food security, job creation, export earnings, industrial raw material supply, and sustainable development. Therefore, strengthening agriculture with modern technology, research, training, and a strong value chain is essential for national development. Overall, agriculture is a pillar of development that underpins food security, economic growth, environmental protection, and sustainable human life.
