Though the area under agriculture is more extensive in Europe, the America and Australia; the percentage of population engaged in the activity is very less. Generally, the developed countries of the world have less population engaged in agriculture while the share of population engaged in agriculture is higher in developing countries. Various crops are produced in the different parts of the world. Various physical and socio - economic factors influence the development of agriculture.
