Agriculture and the growth of the economy.

Agricultural economics is the study of how agriculture allocates, distributes, and uses its resources as well as the commodities it generates. Agricultural economics plays a part in development economics since a steady level of farm surplus is one of the wellsprings of technical and commercial expansion. When a large section of a country's population depends on agriculture for a living, average salaries are low. That does not imply that a country is poor because its citizens work in agriculture; rather, it is more accurate to state that a country is impoverished because its citizens are obliged to rely on agriculture for a living.
