Terroir has a very rough definition because of the fact that it is something more abstract in principle, and different individuals have their different backgrounds and terminologies that make them view terroir differently from one another. Through our studies in program first quarter, and our case study groups, we have come to understand the definition of terroir as the taste, and indistinguishable affect of a plant food in relation to the environment, topography, climate, and personal practices that surround it, it is everything that shaped the crop to be what it was. A balanced, and respectful relationship between man and nature, in order to fulfill manmade desires in the culinary. It differs from the definition of general agriculture becausethe definition of terroir, includes taste, culture, and the result of the specific journey of the plant commodity through its use, and enjoyment by man. In essence, terroir is a more advanced, higher consciousness way to look at agriculture, and all things related, as well as how we enjoy and use the various products that are yielded by these practices.
