Agricultural Production System

An Agricultural Production System is a biological resource-based economic production system that can generate agricultural products through agricultural production processes.

• AKA: Farming System, Agricultural System, Agro-Production System.
• Context:
  • It can typically transform Agricultural Input Resources through agricultural biological processes and agricultural mechanical operations.
  • It can typically produce Agricultural Primary Products through agricultural cultivation methods and agricultural husbandry practices.
  • It can typically manage Agricultural Production Factors through agricultural resource allocation and agricultural labor deployment.
  • It can typically operate within Agricultural Environmental Constraints through agricultural climate adaptation and agricultural soil management.
  • It can typically meet Agricultural Market Demands through agricultural supply chain integration and agricultural distribution networks.
  • ...
  • It can often face Agricultural Production Risks through agricultural weather variability and agricultural pest pressure.
  • It can often require Agricultural Capital Investments through agricultural equipment purchases and agricultural infrastructure development.
  • It can often generate Agricultural Environmental Impacts through agricultural resource consumption and agricultural emission production.
  • It can often support Agricultural Community Structures through agricultural employment provision and agricultural rural development.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Subsistence Agricultural Production System to being a Commercial Agricultural Production System, depending on its agricultural market orientation.
  • It can range from being a Traditional Agricultural Production System to being a Modern Agricultural Production System, depending on its agricultural technology adoption.
  • It can range from being a Small-Scale Agricultural Production System to being a Large-Scale Agricultural Production System, depending on its agricultural operation size.
  • It can range from being a Monoculture Agricultural Production System to being a Polyculture Agricultural Production System, depending on its agricultural diversity level.
  • It can range from being an Extensive Agricultural Production System to being an Intensive Agricultural Production System, depending on its agricultural input intensity.
  • ...
  • It can integrate Agricultural Information Systems for agricultural decision support.
  • It can employ Agricultural Mechanization Technology for agricultural labor productivity.
  • It can utilize Agricultural Biotechnology for agricultural yield enhancement.
  • It can implement Agricultural Management Practices for agricultural efficiency optimization.
  • It can apply Agricultural Certification Standards for agricultural quality assurance.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Crop Agricultural Production Systems, such as:
    • Grain Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural cereal crops.
    • Vegetable Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural horticultural products.
    • Fruit Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural orchard crops.
  • Livestock Agricultural Production Systems, such as:
    • Dairy Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural milk products.
    • Meat Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural animal protein.
    • Poultry Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural eggs and agricultural poultry meat.
  • Mixed Agricultural Production Systems, such as:
    • Crop-Livestock Agricultural Production Systems integrating agricultural plant production with agricultural animal husbandry.
    • Agro-Forestry Agricultural Production Systems combining agricultural tree cultivation with agricultural crop growing.
  • Specialized Agricultural Production Systems, such as:
    • Aquaculture Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural fish products.
    • Apiculture Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural honey products.
    • Floriculture Agricultural Production Systems producing agricultural ornamental plants.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Wild Harvesting Systems, which collect natural resources without cultivation.
  • Industrial Manufacturing Systems, which produce manufactured goods rather than agricultural products.
  • Mining Extraction Systems, which extract mineral resources rather than grow biological products.
  • Service Provision Systems, which deliver intangible services rather than physical products.
  • Natural Ecosystems, which function without human management.
