Climate change aspects

I've just split the existing climate change section in two as one is about the effects of CC on agriculture and one is about the contributions of ag to CC. Two different things. I would be inclined to use excerpts from effects of climate change on agriculture and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture so that we always have the latest information there - would that be OK for a WP:GA article?

"Agricultura" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Agricultura and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 30#Agricultura until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Changes to the page

Dear users,

I work for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ( FAO). As part of a broader UN-Wikipedia project and in line with FAO’s Open Access policy, I have been adding content, recent estimates, maps and graphs from some FAO publications to selected Wikipedia pages (full list available here).

When checking pages containing content related to food and agriculture, I noticed that the Agriculture page might be updated with content from FAO publications on agriculture and, in particular, FAO annual flagship “ The State of Food and Agriculture”.

I began adding content as is from free-licensed publications ( see OTRS permissions) as well as rephrased content from FAO and non-FAO publications and resources. I already included a new paragraph on “Agricultural Mechanization” and made some changes to the overall text by including additional relevant information, editing small inaccuracies, and by rephrasing content – if needed.

I therefore aim to keep updating the page with more recent estimates from the latest editions of The State of Food and Agriculture as well as other FAO and non-FAO publications and resources. DanSD19 ( talk) 14:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Coprophagia vandalism

the page is edit locked, and someone has pasted the content of the coprophagia at the top. Someone please remove that 160.19.3.249 ( talk) 03:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC) reply

It was actually vandalism at an included other template file, so even editing this article wouldn't fix it. I fixed it there. Thanks for bringing it to attention. DMacks ( talk) 03:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Lack of irrigation facilities

These crops are totally depended on the water facility (Figure 3), Due to lack of water facilities, the farmers may lose their crops, and the annual income will be low. Therefore, farmers have to take loan for their daily household expenses and other needs. 106.193.65.244 ( talk) 12:39, 6 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Semi-protected edit request on 12 November 2023

Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops, and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets. It provides most of the world’s food and fabrics and woods for construction and paper products. Cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products. These products, as well as the agricultural methods used, may vary from one part of the world to another. Graceyy v ( talk) 10:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC) reply
