Linguistically the term agriculture comes from the combination of the Latin words agri (field) and cultura(cultivation). Horticulture comes from the combination of the Latin words hortus (garden) and cultura. Cultivating a field vs. cultivating a garden. We can see the implications of agriculture's mono-cropping primary succession plant obsession in its very origin. We can also see the implications of horticulture's diversity of plants and smaller-scale style through its origins.

Agriculture is the science and practice of growing crops and rearing animals for human consumption. Agriculture involves a community network of people involved in this field, from food scientists to farm and machinery supply stores to the farmers and ranchers themselves. Agriculture also involves a wide variety of methods, philosophies, operations and practices of growing and rearing any and every kind of crop-plant and animal that can be thought of being involved.

Farming is a more individual practice involving an area of land with buildings on it (as well as Fencing, water facilities, etc.), that is used to grow crops and/or rear animals for human consumption. Each farm is its own entity with its own unique philosophies, methods, practices and operations of raising crops and/or rearing animals according to the climate, soil, terrain, and the farmer him/herself.

A farm is a place that owns various animals (mostly from sizes of mice to horses) and grows crops in a large amount.

A garden is a small amount of land used to grow small vegentative plants or herbs such as basil, lettuce, and sometimes even bigger plants such as watermelon or pumpkins
