[{"role": "system", "content": "Agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of animals, plants and fungi for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal plants and other products used to sustain and enhance life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. The history of agriculture by humans dates back thousands of years, and its development has been driven and defined by greatly different climates, cultures, and technologies; industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture farming has become the dominant agricultural method. Although generally understood to denote the practices of humans, other animals\u2014for example, fungus-growing ants\u2014have also been found to engage in agriculture. Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, and technological developments have in many cases sharply increased yields from cultivation, but at the same time have caused widespread ecological damage and negative human health effects. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have raised concerns about animal welfare, environmental damage (such as massive drainage of resources such as water and feed fed to the animals, global warming, rainforest destruction, leftover waste products that are littered), and the health effects of the antibiotics, growth hormones, artificial additives and other chemicals commonly used in industrial meat production.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love the idea of agriculture!

We cultivate and breed animals, plant, fungi, biofuel and many other things in order to sustain life. It's a huge business"}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is biofuel in relation to agriculture?  I am unfamiliar with that?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's produced through anaerobic digestion rather than fuel made by a geological process like fossil fuel."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting!  So it is a renewable fuel source than, right?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes. Renewable biofuels involve contemporary carbon fixation like that that occurs in plants through the process of photosynthesis"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Fascinating!  Is the US as a whole considered an agriculture society?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is. Agriculture by people goes back thousands of years, monoculture farming has become the dominant agricultural method"}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is monoculture farming?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is the practice of growing a single crop or livestock species in a field or farming system at a time."}]
