It is also used, among other things, in smoke detectors and gun sights.

Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organisation controlled or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans.

Due to the pressures of over consumption, population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently.

This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation.

Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues.

There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity and even scientific dishonesty occurs, so protection measures are occasionally debated.

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 human 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 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 methodology.
