Etymology
'agrotechny' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'agros' meaning 'field' and 'techne' meaning 'art or skill'.
'agros' and 'techne' combined in Greek to form 'agrotechny', which was adopted into English to describe the application of technology in agriculture.
Initially, it meant 'the art of field cultivation', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the science and practice of agriculture using technology'.
