Abstract

Agriculture has been a source, for all communities, of the energy supply in terms food security and innovation hub for their advancement throughout the history. This sector has been exposed to a series of changes and upgrades as per the needs of the generations and the requirements of the technological development to respond to the current and future trends in this domain looking for sustainability of the agriculture output and security it provides related to food, health, and market exchanges. The states, as they stand in for the organized communities, incorporated agriculture in their agenda not only for securing their people in terms of food to fight hunger, but also to leverage on it as they drive other sectors of the human development. This paper clearly highlights, in perspective of the historical view, the importance and challenges it faces and how the states find themselves advancing when they embrace the sound strategies to drive this core pillar of the human race existence on earth.
