Agriculture is specifically the cultivation of acres; i.e. fields of crops.
It’s an inefficient and ecologically devestating form of food production compared to food forests and gardening. It results in structural nutritional deficiencies (e.g. half the western world being overweight because staple crops are short on particular minerals and vitamins unless you eat way too many calories) and the occasional massive famines.
The one upside it has - labor efficiency - is predicated on poisoning the earth. Rather than figure out what plants need they flush the earth with chemicals and poisons and pump aquifers dry, throwing enough stuff at the problem that they don’t need people as much.

… none of that is correct.
