Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the national economy, as it is the main supplier of food products.
Agriculture also plays a special role in the structure of the agro-industrial complex. This is due to its functional role in producing food products. Additionally, agriculture is connected to dozens of other industries that consume its products or produce products that are consumed by agriculture. In fact, for many of them, this industry is the main factor in industrial development, so any shifts in the structure lead to corresponding changes in many industries and in the market trade.
Features of agriculture as the most unstable element of the food system:
1. The social significance of food products, which are the material condition of the population of a city, family, or social group;
2. A significant degree of dependence of the results of agricultural producers on uncontrolled environmental conditions.
