Agriculture plays a key role in the development of the economy, agricultural production being the main source of food, the basis of human existence and the basis of raw materials for many industries. The need for development and modernization stems from its vital role in meeting the food needs of the world’s population. This human activity has the greatest contribution to human well-being. Currently, 60% of the Earth’s population makes a liv­ing directly from farming. Agriculture has a decisive role in solving the food problem, agriculture is a branch that provides the raw material for the food industry – 90%, light industry – 70%, chemical industry – 20%.
