DEFINITION OF AGRISCIENCE

• IT IS THE USE OF SCIENCE IN PRODUCING FOOD, FIBER
  AND SHELTER

3
TECHNOLOGY

• PRACTICAL USE OF SCIENCE-USUALLY INCREASES FOOD
  PRODUCTION.
• DEVELOPMENT OF BST IN DAIRY TO INCREASE THE
  AMOUNT OF MILK ONE COW WILL PRODUCE

FOUR AREAS OF SCIENCE

• MATHEMATICS - WEIGHT TO BUY AND SELL A PRODUCT
  LAND SURVEYING
• PHYSICAL SCIENCE - NONLIVING MATTER EARTH SCIENCE

5
FOUR AREAS CONT.
