The scientific study of how geological factors and soil composition influence agriculture and crop production.
From Greek 'agros' (field) + 'geo' (earth) + 'logos' (study). Developed as a distinct discipline in the 20th century when agricultural scientists realized geology was fundamental to farming success.
Agrogeology is essentially detective work—farmers and scientists use it to understand why their land behaves the way it does, tracing everything back to ancient tectonic shifts and weathering patterns.
