    Agriculture is affected by many environmental, economic, and climatic factors. Key environmental factors that impact agriculture include light, water, temperature, air, humidity, wind, topography, soil, and climate. Economic factors such as subsidies, commodity prices, immigration laws, and labor also shape modern agriculture. Additionally, climatic elements like light, water, rainfall, temperature, air, humidity, and wind influence agricultural production and crop yields in major ways. It is important for farmers to understand how these various factors intersect and affect their local agricultural area to best choose suitable crops.
