Post by: TEBTC on March 21, 2024, 08:22:31 AM
Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

They can do that by granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers
Farming is an important aspect of every economy
Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy

Farming and agriculture is one underated sector that used to be the value of a country wealth and even individual wealth. Since the discovery of crude oil, precious stones agriculture has slipped down in interest from country to individuals but I think it is just the mentality of time.

Food is very important to survival infact on Maslow hierarchy of needs physiological value is far important than any other value meaning agriculture would always be very important.

Using my country for example before crude oil was found we used to export agricultural products like groundnuts, Cocoa, rubber, rice e.t.c and this helped the economy immensely and we had a more stable economy than we have now that we are one of the highest crude oil exporters (although this has to also do with corruption).

Even individually we have ignored the importance of agriculture, it is a sector that can creat independent business owners, form small scale to large scale.

There are many significant opportunities for economic development that farming and agriculture offers. In the northern part of my country we have a huge percentage of arable land. However, despite its vast arable land, my country still imports food annually worth billions of naira, indicating a gap between potential agricultural productivity and actual food production.

And some of the reasons for this are insecurity, corruption, and neglect of the agricultural sector by the government. Granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers in my country is of little to no help unless the security situation that forces farmers to abandon their farm lands for years because of fear of being killed is solve.

Being an oil producing nation, they are more concerned about the oil than about farm and agriculture which is a future-focused business due to the inevitable rise in food demand. If the government of my country can increase their investment in agriculture which include farming activities they'll see that it is a highly profitable venture that offers substantial returns due to the increasing need for food worldwide.

The agricultural sector is the most important of all the other sectors in an economy, because we must eat to survive as human beings, and if the sector is neglected, then there won't be an active work force. Nowadays people prefer more convenient works like white collar jobs or just go into buying and selling of goods including agricultural produce, because nobody wants to do the tedious and dirty work of working in the farm. But what they don't understand is despite the fact that farm work can be hard, farmers are not hungry people and they make a lot of money during their harvest seasons, infact mechanized farmers are very rich and influential people in the societies.

My landlord is into fishery, he's has big fish ponds and he's making a lot of money from the business, infact more richer than most entrepreneurs that I know. I look forward to going into agriculture in the near future.

Agriculture is very important for every country. Without agriculture it is not possible to ensure the food of a country.  But these days people have started looking at agriculture in a bad light. According to people, agriculture is the work of the poor. But they don't know how much success can be achieved by doing agriculture with modern technology. And if it is possible to produce different crops in one's own country, it is very beneficial for the country. Govt.  Agricultural training should be provided and loans at low or no interest should be given to agricultural entrepreneurs.

In my country, farming is still very important. However, I once had a farming land but I was force to sell it for personal reasons. But I do agree, this sector could be one of the most neglected by government around the world.

And even for some countries, those who lead this industry is somewhat corrupt or at least manipulated some goods to their advantage. And with the development of buildings to house the population, some areas are now being taken by developers, who paid government handsomely so that they can get that farm land. And obviously, in the future there will be no enough farm land for the population and they are going to realized it, but it's going to be too late.

honestly if government truly wants people to get back into the farming field they should incentivizes the use of technology to boost productivity, the use of drone, automated watering system and fertilization and so on coming from the government subsidized heavily then they can boost the amount of people wanting to get into farming and agriculture.
the thing that holding people back are the profit that they get doesn't really worth the hard work that they've been went through therefore many people consider farming and agriculture in general as a waste of time, but with leveraging technology it could boost the productivity and therefore increase the profit generated.
when it comes to this field its always government that need to take action otherwise people aren't gonna be spending their life having minimal earning doing hardwork for all their lives.

Yeah.  If the government prioritize this, it could make farming way more appealing. Youre right that farming is  tough and the profits don't always match the effort. But with enough support from the government especially those agricultural countries, it will do so well. It's time for the government to step up and invest in the future of farming

Farming is being established as an industry and it's best to use automation and machinery than getting more people involved in manual work.
The world is already producing more food than the population needs, it's distribution, supply chain and climate change that are creating localized problems.
Some individuals do farm as a hobby and for organic produce. But individual farming can never be considered an important contributor to economy.
As the population decreases the demand for agricultural produce would decrease. Every nation who have enough farm land should focus on self-sustainability.

Farming has being what our ancestors used to survive and grow their economy. As long as man must eat to survive, then farming is as important like the air that we breath. This is because no man can survive without food.

A lot of produce are gotten from agriculture and it is not only food. We have raw materials that we use for building and construction, raw materials that industries turn to finish goods. If a nation can just stay focus on agriculture, and use the current technology for farming to make it easy and to yield a high output, you will see that nation economy will be balanced. This is because everyone needs food to survive.

The OP discussion of farming is presented in an open sphere, the country ought to be specified. Because in an advance society, farming is imperative. One need not to lay emphasis on it.
Farming is an activity in the agricultural sector. It entails the production and cultivation of crops (cash/food), animals, vegetables, fishes, birds, etc.
The engagement of these activities could enhance the Gross Domestic Product GDP of a nation which improves the foreign exchange earnings of the nation.
But some nations play lip service to these agricultural activities. On the basis of this, poverty and hardship penetrate to all the social classes of the society. The situation worsened when there is no segment of the population that volunteers to engage in commercial farming, at best for exports.

I think but I can't remember well again probably yesterday or there about I saw a flashed News on my social media platforms that the company that was producing Red Oil from Palm Trees is coming back to Nigeria from UK to restart the production. They were producing in enough commodity in the colonial era. Africa is blessed with natural resource abundantly but our leaders are blinded that they don't see those things except Crude Oil.

It agriculture that increases a country GDP to a very high rate and with agriculture cost of living reduce and the inflation is very high because there is no solid Agricultural revolution in the land. It is not that the individual are not ready to invest in agriculture but the government has not created the enabling environment for them to plant or cultivate. In Nigeria, Boko Haram and Herdsmen plus Bandit are killing Farmers like fowls so those who like to farm are also afraid. And that is why the inflation I very high in the land.

You know, education is what mostly they need. It is also considered as a weapon that we can use especially nowadays where knowledge is everything. This is to avoid being taken advantage of by other businessmen who only think of making a profit without taking into consideration that the farmers will also need to get a profit for their next farming and also to provide for their other needs.

Most businessmen are the reason why most of the farmers decide to quit farming and find some other ways to make a decent profit. Some kind of work where they don't need to put in the same effort as they do in farming, but the pay rate is higher.

If only the government gives more attention to the farmers, helping them with their needs and guiding them so they will never be taken advantage of by businessmen anymore.

farming is quite important for the economy in countries that can implement it. by having an advanced and developing farming industry, it will become a resource for countries to be able to maintain the stability of their country. because food security is very important for a country, to ensure that citizens have their needs met and that there is no increase in food prices due to food shortages. that's why several countries are currently desperately developing their food industry, because it is very important for their country's economy and stability.

Agriculture is the lifeblood of a country because agriculture is considered quite important as one of the needs that must be met. Now agriculture is considered to be the work of the poor, even though in developed countries agriculture is carried out by people with educated status. The difference is that they no longer farm using traditional methods because they are assisted by machines with easier and better levels of effectiveness.

Agriculture often helps a country's economy and if a country is strong in agriculture then that country is economically strong. Because they can export agricultural products to countries that need them and the results can increase state income.

Apart from that, farmers can also gain prosperity from the harvest they get so that individual economic growth is more vibrant. When people prosper financially, the country will become stronger because society is no longer completely dependent on the government. That's why agriculture can help society and the country as a whole because when agriculture becomes an important aspect, agriculture can contribute income to both individual people and the country.

Look, nobody can deny the role of farming into the economy of a country. Farming has always been the backbone of a country and countries who don't have enough resources for farming import a lot and their major budget is spent on that. I don't completely agree with your opinion of farming as a poor man thing. I think due to developed technologies people now don't need to work that Hard like our ancestors used to do.

Technologies like every other sector have also revolinised farming and there are many ways to reduce labour effort. The governments should supply or give discounts on the tools used in modern farming and reduce the amount of efforts of a farmer this will improve the view of farming.

Farming is an essential part of any society's economy, and I appreciate that it can also help us by keeping prices of goods stable and affordable. The government can also assist us in supporting our farmers by giving them the resources they need, including farmland and tools, even if that means sending them to school to further their knowledge of agriculture and providing fertilizer for farming. Furthermore, agriculture is greatly impacted by climate change globally, and farming can also aid in lowering the high rates of hunger and poverty in our society, particularly given the state of the economy, people will not find it difficult in eating again, the only problem is that, we won't prepare the food as we wanted but we still eat, " half bread is better than none" like they said. So it's better to go to our farm, take what   we have planted and process it to food.

For things like this, it would be better and more accurate to look at it globally because if you only look at one country or in your own country, I don't think that would be accurate enough to say. Because where I live now there are still many rich people who want to farm and still pay dozens of people to take care of all the land they own in order to increase their agricultural income. So things like this must also be highlighted through the thoughts of the community itself because those who are aware of the importance of food for life and the economy will definitely not ignore any land they currently have.

The government already does this every year through the existing budget, so I don't think the community themselves need to complain about anything as long as they still have the intention to develop land and generate income through their own agriculture. Because it is not only important for poor people, but currently there are still more rich people who care about it without waiting for loans from the government and cheap fertilizer from the government. Although it could also be more useful for all poor people in building enthusiasm to continue farming on their own land.

We all know that it is really important to everyone. Farming is really to provide and give us food whenever we need it. I'm really saddened by the people who are affected by that and are being taken advantage of by the government. I hope that those people who take advantage turn around and actually help the people. We all know that it's an essential component of the economy.

There should be things like programs that are able to help those in need and that deserve it.

One of the ways in which we can boost our economy in a country is to engage everyone into farming, when hunger is taken away from poverty, then human problem is partly solved, most of the countries totally depends on the other for agricultural supplies of food and this make them tied down to their particular pattern of runny an economy, but when we take up the challenge and refused to be dependent in this aspect, there will not be too much dependencies on imported food items, instead, we are also going to be giving out to other countries after which we already have more than enough to eat and use within.

farming or agriculture is the most important thing anyone can think of because it is something we can not do without and there are various types of farming depending of which one the farmer decides to do. and as the population of people is increasing so is the consumption of food, whether we like it or not we have to look for a way, way to balance the production and the consumption the production have to be more.

farming should be among one of the most fastest way to make money and also the fastest way of making money, it is always on high demand and things that drive a good business is demand if there is less demand then it will affect the bushiness but when it comes to food it is always a high demand every time, so people have the mindset that is for poor people they are wrong and one of my dream business should be farming. and economy that deal with agriculture they flourish very well. and food is becoming a problem because we have less farmers in our society and that is why food is getting expensive.

There are banks of agriculture that actually grants people loan, some of thees farmers in my place will be granted the loan and they will not even use the money for the purpose of farming, there are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to granting loan for farmers. and a lot help comes from the government that i actually know of but some of them will still sell it farming has a lot of impact on the economy.

Farming is one of the major source of revenue for so many countries all over the world. A government that fails to invest in agriculture should be ready to spend so much money buying food from his neighboring countries. Farming for long has provide food and live stocks for so many countries world wide and not just that, job opportunities are also made available.
For some reasons like historical war events that has polluted some countries land, they have no choice but to spend so much money importing food stocks which they know very well, that their land is incapable of producing.  Only an unreasonable individual will see farming as thing for the poor. Farming can be like and investment even to the rich as you may even see our your products to your government for a higher bid. In my country, farming is the main source of income during this hard economy but for so many reasons, a lot of farmers has seized to continue farming. These reasons include persistent terrorist attacks, kidnapping and so much more. But farming still contribute so much on the economic power of my country.

Farming is very important but with the new opportunities in cryptocurrency and other fields many young people would not be interested in going into farming when they can get engaged in tech, cryptocurrency and other opportunities in the digital space. This is also a reason why there is also a decline in the number of people delving into agriculture.

It will be difficult to shift the attention of the young people who are supposed to carry on agricultural practice from the new technology and opportunities in the digital space back to agricultural, but it is not impossible if the government can actually make the sector very attractive that it becomes hard to ignore.

Agriculture is the backbone of any nation but it's too underrated, those who do farming often stays poor and rather the big businesses which buys from them at the dirt cheap price and sell it across gets richer, there has to be a direct to customer link in order for farmers to have profitable business in return of the hardwork which goes in farming as it's not easy since lot of external factor plays role here and there are years when crops are not good, washed away in rain or just no rain at all or eaten by insects these are few challenges which they face and they are the most marginalized community doing the most important work without which people will starve.

But, recently I have seen some startups sourcing it directly from farmer to customer it's farm to table concept wherein the farmers get a good profit ratio. Government needs to launch more pro farming policies and incentivize it because I have seen farmers committing suicide due to the debt.

Farming is very essential to the economy especially if one country is already known as an agricultural nation

The country I live in is a tropical one and is known for its environmental conditions that makes it really preferable for farming but is it our strongest sector? No. But it could be. We can use this sector to produce food for the masses not to mention almost the entire market is dependent on the price of rice so if we could produce high quality goods for lesser price everything else will follow.

We can also export food bringing in much profits for the farmers and the country itself.

We have a lot of soil to plant and yet we chooses to import agricultural products because our government choose to fool our own people about the shortage of products since they don’t support local farmers anymore.

We used to export rice and now we are one of the biggest importer of rice, i guess the issues are not just soil to plant but also the corrupt government officials, I wish there is still time to fix this.

     Agriculture is very important in a country, because if the government neglects it, I am pretty sure many people in their jurisdiction will starve. Farmers help a lot in our agriculture, because it's number one in the economy, it can help a lot for every country to survive.

    That's why we should love farmers because if they don't have poor urban or rural people, we shouldn't discriminate against them, instead we should also appreciate them because they contribute a lot to our government.

I also think that there is not a single person who says that agriculture is not important and that every food farmer really needs to be paid attention to by the government. We can all see how even the most developed countries in the world still preserve their agriculture through existing land and also through the use of empty land to make it into important land for them. So it is not appropriate to say that this is not important as long as the income can still be used by everyone and can still be a good contribution to one's own country.

This definitely depends where you live in the world - you describe farming as a thing for poor people, however in large parts of Europe farmers have very deep pockets. While it is very hard work wherever you are, many countries are using technology now to take care of many hundreds of acres with just a handful of people every year. That is the next evolution that places like India will reach eventually, instead of the hyper intensive and sometimes subsistence level farming that can take place. Farmers do need support, but again it can vary very much on the region, they often need defense against big retailers who try to force them into very poor contracts and really squeeze them for profit.

Everybody knows the importance of agriculture, but I don't really know why most countries are not paying attention to agriculture and how they are paying attention to other sectors, especially countries that even have fertile land for agriculture.
 
I believe that in some countries, some individuals are ready to farm, but the truth is that the government is not helping the matter because the government is not willing to assist farmers with some necessary things for agriculture, like farm implements, improving seeds, or helping them with fertilizer. The funny part is that in some African countries, even if the government budgets money for agriculture, it will still be the governments that embezzle the money, despite the fact that some budgets go to the agriculture section. In most of these countries that are facing high inflation, the main reason is that they are not giving much power to their agriculture sector.

I believe the government can entice people into farming by making farming ventures more profitable.  By setting up a good and reasonable price for farming products, the government does not need to give out freebies since securing a good profit is enough for people to consider venturing into it.

Same reason why Bitcoin investment is popular nowadays.  Bitcoin high volatility gives traders opportunity to take profit on every trades they created.  Although the government does not give any freebies or encouragement (in fact many government discourage people into venturing to Bitcoin investment) many investors flocks into Bitcoin investment because of the possible high profit it can give.

Sadly the government relies more on product importation.  In terms of agricultural shortage, the corrupt government officials prefer to import products than develop the agricultural sector because it is much easier for them to pocket money by conspiring with the supplier and getting a commission on every item sold.

I believe that in some countries, some individuals are ready to farm, but the truth is that the government is not helping the matter because the government is not willing to assist farmers with some necessary things for agriculture, like farm implements, improving seeds, or helping them with fertilizer.

In most of these countries that are facing high inflation, the main reason is that they are not giving much power to their agriculture sector.

It boils down to the profitability of involving oneself to agricultural industry.  The government should establish a good price for agricultural products.  If the government are able to give a good price for agricultural products and enable farmers to gain a good profit, I believe there is no need for the government to implement aid items to the farmers since farmer is able to buy those items for themselves.

So I think the main problem why people are not getting into agricultural ventures because the government failed to establish a good market price for agricultural products.

Using my country for example before crude oil was found we used to export agricultural products like groundnuts, Cocoa, rubber, rice e.t.c and this helped the economy immensely and we had a more stable economy than we have now that we are one of the highest crude oil exporters (although this has to also do with corruption).

This is very true, the agricultural sector is the most underrated sector of the economy. Cocoa was a major source of income before independence. Also, many years back, we were the number one producer of palm oil in the world. Now, Indonesia and Malaysia have overtaken Nigerian, and both of them produce about 85% of the world's palm oil. Currently, Nigeria ranks 5th behind Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Colombia. Everyone eyes is fixated on crude while the agricultural sector is looked down on.

Everybody knows the importance of agriculture, but I don't really know why most countries are not paying attention to agriculture and how they are paying attention to other sectors, especially countries that even have fertile land for agriculture.
 
I believe that in some countries, some individuals are ready to farm, but the truth is that the government is not helping the matter because the government is not willing to assist farmers with some necessary things for agriculture, like farm implements, improving seeds, or helping them with fertilizer. The funny part is that in some African countries, even if the government budgets money for agriculture, it will still be the governments that embezzle the money, despite the fact that some budgets go to the agriculture section. In most of these countries that are facing high inflation, the main reason is that they are not giving much power to their agriculture sector. 
Most Countries do not consider the agricultural sector important because the income earned by the country is very small, that is why the agricultural sector is often ignored and the government usually prefers to look at other sectors such as tourism. We can see the selling prices of agricultural products in each country, the range is very lower than what farmers expect. For example, like rice, if you calculate the capital spent, the profits obtained by farmers may be very low. The government seems reluctant to facilitate the selling and purchasing value of agricultural products with regulations that defend farmers.

Singapore's approach to food security is interesting. They prioritize imports over domestic agriculture, allocating resources to other sectors and relying on profits to fund food imports. This strategy has its merits, but it's also important to consider factors like long-term food security and sustainability."

Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

They can do that by granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers
Farming is an important aspect of every economy
Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy
Agriculture plays a very important role in changing the economic status or economic aspect of a country. The country I live in is an agricultural country where most of the people in my country are involved in agriculture. We also do a fair amount of farming in our spare time. But as we are an agricultural country, the government is not giving much importance to agriculture. If you want to do agricultural work in this country, you have to face many problems. If the government gives importance to agriculture in my country then my country will progress more in agriculture. Also, my country is a riverine country, there is sufficient water system, basically, everything in my country is more than the amount. If good measures are taken for agriculture, then my country will progress very well through agriculture, so the government should pay attention to this agriculture. I repeat if the agricultural system of a country can be improved then that country will gain much prosperity economically.

Finally I am highlighting the position of my country, I am talking about my Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a country of riverine and agricultural land, if agricultural work is taken care of in this country, it will definitely advance economically.

The agricultural sector is the most important thing that a country needs to focus on. Well in my honest opinion, the Agricultural sector should be considered as the first priority and then other sectors as it fulfills the country's needs and also many of the country depends on this sectors for growing their economy field. Now the question is that How can agriculture sector can grow up fastly and rapidly. Well in my point of view, the government should provide all the needed things to the farmers and these things should be available at a cheaper rate because the most lower rate things the farmer will buy the more he can farm the fields.

Wheat is export in high volume from Pakistan to other countries. Pakistan generates good revenue from agricultural fields so many are also making revenue for making the economy strong of their country so that is why things should be available at cheap rates for the farmers. Many Thanks!

Farming is quite underestimated, in my opinion.
It does not matter whether one country is a big industrialized one or a small and developing nation, both have something in common and that is their dependence on  agriculture to sustain life within their society.

You suggest there are people who do not want to get involved with farming because they view it as a fruitless activity, but one must do some clarification before talking about farming: there are two main kinds of farming and agriculture: industrial agriculture and survival agriculture, the latter is done mostly for the survival of a household by providing themselves with food. And obviously, nobody would like to be in such situation where they needed to grow their own food.

The key to the development of a country and the advancement of society pass through evolving survival farming to its industrial form and build commerce around it, once alimentary needs of the people are covered, obviously.

Yep, agriculture plays an extremely important role in the economy of any country, but we are also experiencing the sad fact that it is an unattractive sector, because most of the age groups serve services for the field are not those who prioritize the field. But it must also be said that agriculture provides an essential food source for people, ensures national food security, and agricultural development is the common responsibility of the entire society. I also live in a country with a very large agricultural industry. I know that improving knowledge and skills for farmers to apply science and technology to production helps increase economic efficiency and bring infrastructure. We also need to change the perception of an important industry that requires serious attention. Especially encourage young people to participate in agriculture.

Farming is very important but with the new opportunities in cryptocurrency and other fields many young people would not be interested in going into farming when they can get engaged in tech, cryptocurrency and other opportunities in the digital space. This is also a reason why there is also a decline in the number of people delving into agriculture.

It will be difficult to shift the attention of the young people who are supposed to carry on agricultural practice from the new technology and opportunities in the digital space back to agricultural, but it is not impossible if the government can actually make the sector very attractive that it becomes hard to ignore.
The only reason people choose these online careers first instead of farming is because they feel that farming is not a professional career. It is something you can venture into when you have made enough money anytime anyday. And this time you do not need to toil the soil with your hands. You will do that with your money because you will employ workers who would do them for you and pay them for their services.

It is part of the idea of working smart and not hard. Working online gives you a faster opportunity to do anything you want to do in just few years.

Yup, if it wasn't for the farmers, we wouldn't have anything to serve in front of our dining table. Here in our country, farmers are underestimated too much, the price of the product sold in cheapest price and then those businessman sold the producstat a high price in the market, so some of our farmers are also poor because their work is hard but their income is very little, not even reaching the minimum wage earner. I hope that those government officials will give more action regarding our agriculture program, many farmers do not deserve what they are earning now, they deserve adequate payment because of the weight of the work they do for the country.

If you are in agricultural country we provably can say that farming is important to boost since for that sector a lot of people can able to serve food without worrying about more higher price of basic needs of people. But unfortunately that there are government institutions doesn't care about farming sector since some of them rely only on import since maybe they can get something in return from it rather than boosting their local agriculture. Rampant corruption lead for more worse situation in farming industry that's why this scenario happening. If this cases where farmers will continue to ignore for sure that they get tired on their situation then stop planting foods that we eat. Then it will be worse especially when crisis came since for sure a lot of people will suffer from heavy hunger.

It could be said that different countries have different government rules for reviving the economy for farmers. Not in the area where I live, farmers are not only exploited by the poor, The rich are flocking to carry out activities on their land, currently 70% of the rich are involved in agriculture.

The government in my area has made various efforts, especially for farmers, in providing fertilizers, seeds, free and cheap land for the community and so on. They provide hectares of land for farmers, The aim is to boost the economy of society in general. In my area, farmers are generally considered the highest source of income and are the source of wealth for many people.

Talking about loans, it has become a top priority for farmers, especially palm oil farmers, they can borrow above $70k for a basic start, if they can produce 1-5 harvests, they will get above $100k, so farmers become one settled life inmy area.

I think every country has the kind of farm crops and produce they can grow or rear as regards livestock.
 Due to varied temperature also, weather, soil composition and texture and other distinctions that makes farming accomplished, ones country has to be safe enough and have a ready market, so that farmers can go to their farmlands to cultivate, harvest, store, sell and make income too.
They can be taxed if they make income from sales of their farm produce and will be more productive if government support their effort with more farmlands, machines that will be maintained on regular by government, grants and aid and other development programs that make them want to keep producing.

In many cases it is not so, and farmers have had to hide from bandits and kidnappers and even the government that wants to take away the land to erect structures in their name.
Also according to the boom and trend of the century lies what becomes important to say the least, to the economy. There was a time agriculture was number one, then gold, then crude oil, then now crypto, and then  virtual reality and AI.
It does infact goes to show that what's of importance to the economy many times, is the trend the world is following.

The economic conditions in the agricultural sector are very worrying in several agricultural countries, this scenario occurs because of the lack of support from the government which does not value local products and they rely on imports to make a profit so that the indirect impact has damaged market prices which are not profitable for local farmers, farmers complain of difficulties get powder at normal prices because several individuals have been involved in corruption and nepotism activities in the food sector, farmers are the main victims in losses in the food sector because the harvest is not comparable to the price of powder and the government opens up opportunities to import food when local farmers are harvesting.

I hope that the government works with conscience in all aspects, especially for the agricultural sector which aims to improve the welfare of society, they must provide easy access to buy powder at normal prices, and the government must clean up its image and reputation among the community to arrest individuals who play detrimental roles. society, they must be transparent and accountable in the management of the agricultural sector.

When talking about the agricultural industry, this is an industry that is very, very important and must be paid attention to. However, there was a quite unique phenomenon that occurred in the last few days after food prices experienced quite a significant increase. On the one hand, farmers are very grateful for the increase in food prices that has occurred, because they feel they have benefited greatly. Because with high food prices, farmers' profits and income increase and prosperity increases. But on the other hand, those who are not farmers feel very burdened by the increase in food prices that has occurred, because their income is not balanced with their expenses. Where they scream of difficulty, already their purchases are limited and what's more, prices are soaring.

And reflecting on this phenomenon, it is necessary to find a middle way, a step that can be considered a win-win solution. So that neither the community nor the farmers feel disadvantaged. Farmers can prosper and people can buy food at affordable prices.

Apart from having a small country size, Singapore also does not have agricultural land so they have to buy supplies from other countries to meet their food needs. Singapore is a country that is developing in the industrial sector and they are much more developed compared to several countries in Asia. In fact, the per capita income in this country can be said to be quite large so that people there gain more prosperity. Singapore is a developed country that has an industrial sector and currently they are much more developed than Malaysia, which was a fraction country.

The management of this country can be said to be quite successful and they have leaders who have achieved good work in developing the country. There are many companies developing there even though these companies are not from within the country. This country is worth visiting as comparative study material for developing countries because even though they do not have natural products, they can develop the country to be more advanced.

  Farming is the activity or business that involves the growing of edible plants and raising of livestock. Agriculture impacts society in many ways like, the provision of raw materials for food like rice, maize, meat etc. Farming also supports in the production of our daily things we use in our life like rubber, Milk and so on and so forth. Many states provide subsidies for purchase of various farming equipment like power-tillers, harvesters etc. Many states provide farmers electricity at subsidized rates to operate irrigation pumps. Agriculture is the main source of national income for most developing countries. However, for developed countries, agriculture contributes a smaller percentage to their national income. The agricultural sector provides fodder for domestic animals. The cow provides people with milk which is a form of protective food. Agriculture is an important source of livelihood in most parts of the world. It involves tough work but it contributes to food security and health of the nation. Before the industrial revolution, agriculture was the primary source of economy. In spite of many commercial options coming up, many rely on agriculture for their income.
  Agriculture is a nature-friendly and most peaceful method of livelihood. It is a very reliable source of livelihood for mankind and also one of the honest sources of incomes. Many people from developing nations rely on agriculture for livelihood. Some people involved in other business or jobs still have agriculture as a side business. Agriculture does not limit to cultivation and farming alone. It also extends to dairy, poultry, fisheries, sericulture, beekeeping (honey insects), etc. These are also dependent on agriculture cultivation in some or other way. Farming becomes more profitable when combined with these alternative methods.

The agricultural sector is the most important of all the other sectors in an economy, because we must eat to survive as human beings, and if the sector is neglected, then there won't be an active work force. Nowadays people prefer more convenient works like white collar jobs or just go into buying and selling of goods including agricultural produce, because nobody wants to do the tedious and dirty work of working in the farm. But what they don't understand is despite the fact that farm work can be hard, farmers are not hungry people and they make a lot of money during their harvest seasons, infact mechanized farmers are very rich and influential people in the societies.

My landlord is into fishery, he's has big fish ponds and he's making a lot of money from the business, infact more richer than most entrepreneurs that I know. I look forward to going into agriculture in the near future.
The view in economics in agriculture is that we often analyze the costs we incur before the targets or results of the farm because by knowing the costs we incur, we can be more effective and productivity will also be higher. and when borrowing money from investors, we will be very careful, namely according to the needs that will be used on the land that we open or release. from the hoe, plow and also maintenance costs must be calculated as small as possible

I am forced to ask what kind of agricultural system does your people practice, commercial or commercial agriculture? The standard of living of your people will not improve if majority still cultivate agricultural products just for personal consumption and little or nothing left for sale. Agriculture is profitable if the people are given incentives to produce in large quantities both for local consumption and for export purposes. We should never underestimate the power of agriculture. A lot of countries are suffering today because they have neglected this particular sector of the economy for other sectors, thereby reducing what they can export to other countries. The neglect for the agricultural sector is the main reason the farmers are working hard and still suffering because nothing has been made easy for them.

A couple have criticised council bosses after receiving a hefty bill for not seeking planning permission to grow vegetables in their own garden.

A few weeks ago I saw information that the EU is trying to pass laws limiting people's ability to grow veggies in their own gardens so there's a lobby trying to push this for years. I bet they want to stop people from being independent in case there's another lockdown. I'm a conspiracy theorist, but if you think about it, a person whose money and food you control is completely dependent on you. You will shut down stores., put people on lockdown and start handing out food and water. After a few days everybody will come to you and you can then demand them to sign up for whatever bullshit you want them to sign up. If you want them to take tests, they will. You want them to get stabbed with a needle, they will. Provide a blood sample? You got it.

Vast swathes of arable land coexist with dependence on food imports, highlighting a gap between potential and reality. Insecurity, corruption, and government neglect – are significant roadblocks.  Imagine farmers living in fear, unable to cultivate their land due to safety concerns.  Fear is a powerful disincentive to investment and productivity.

The limitations of current solutions like loans and fertilizers are a valid point.  These are tools, but without addressing the core issues, their effectiveness is limited.  Imagine a farmer receiving a loan but being unable to use it due to fear of violence. The focus on the oil industry over long-term sustainable solutions like agriculture is shortsighted.  Imagine a nation prioritizing a finite resource over a sector with the potential to ensure food security and economic prosperity for generations to come.

When we talk about agriculture, we are talking about the sustainability of human life. Therefore, never ever intend to underestimate those who work as farmers, because their role is very important and large in maintaining food security. And without their presence, it might be quite difficult to find where to find food.

Currently, many countries are confused about food problems, and this is because food supplies are starting to run low. Production levels are starting to become unbalanced with consumption levels, becoming a major problem as to how the need for food can be met. Meanwhile, fertile land is starting to run out, factories are being built, mines are being opened and other things are being done haphazardly without thinking about what the consequences will be like. In the end, environmental pollution occurs everywhere, making agricultural land no longer productive. Therefore, in an effort to prevent environmental pollution from occurring again, and in order to increase food security, a blue and green economic system is the solution.

Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

They can do that by granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers
Farming is an important aspect of every economy
Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy

Actually, farming also deals with economic development, but what happens normally to farmers is not only the loan and the fertiliser but also the profit. For instance, if the government provides them with an interest-free loan, the fertiliser and the provision of other things that they may need will help them a long way more than you can ever imagine, but even with that, some farmers will still have many issues. For instance, in rural areas, many of those farmers find it hard to bring their goods to the market because of bad roads for transportation, which is also something to consider if we truly are to help the farmers.

That is why most of the time, if it comes to helping or uplifting the agricultural sector, you do not deal with the farmers because they are the backbone of agriculture, and to give a solution to their problems, you most likely take research on their needs, which consists of making inquiries from the people mainly engaged in the act, who are mostly the farmers. They will tell you their needs and wants, which are left for the government to fine-tune a way to solve their issues. For instance, a farmer who lives in rural areas, as I mentioned earlier, will find it hard to convey the goods to the market as a result of transportation or a bad road. Will you tell me that farmer needs fertiliser or an interest-free loan? No, all these are some factors that the government needs to put into consideration if they are truly willing to help the farmers.

If the leaders of a country can place more focus on agriculture or it can greatly improve the economy of the country by not just providing only food but also creating employment opportunities for people. It will also result in increased export, and increased industrial activity in the country because some agricultural products that serve as raw materials for these industries will become very available for use, and easily accessible.

A few weeks ago I saw information that the EU is trying to pass laws limiting people's ability to grow veggies in their own gardens so there's a lobby trying to push this for years.
Maybe they can do this in the more developed countries, but not in our country or in other less developed countries where you can farm on any land you can get, provided you are ready for the work.

The importance of farming to a country cannot be overemphasized because food is a need among shelter, clothing and without it living can be quite unbearable.

Countries that go to war know that if they should disrupt the trade routes of the enemies used to deliver food to citizens, refugees, troops, they would have won already, hence why this topic cannot emphasize enough on the importance of farming to the country and it's economy.

A hungry man is an angry man. A well fed man is one that would be able to do work well, think well and help develop the society at large.

Land is God's gift. It's a fundamental resource for human to survive. Throughout history, access to arable land has been crucial for civilizations to thrive. Farming is a direct response to this need that enables the cultivation of crops and plants for sustenance. The link between land, farming, and survival is evident in the historical and contemporary contexts of human civilization.

Farming doesn't only produce food. It has correlation to the production of Chemical product, medicine, and even machines. No Civilization could survive without the importance of farming. Governments play a pivotal role in shaping agricultural policies, providing subsidies, infrastructure, and support services to farmers. Agriculture contributes significantly to national economies through employment generation, income generation for farmers, and the provision of raw materials for various industries. We can anticipate the complex interplay between land, farming, government policies, and economic development. This suggests the imperative for concerted efforts to promote and support agriculture in every society.

Yeah.  If the government prioritize this, it could make farming way more appealing. Youre right that farming is  tough and the profits don't always match the effort. But with enough support from the government especially those agricultural countries, it will do so well. It's time for the government to step up and invest in the future of farming
Of course the government must prioritize the agricultural sector because of course a country can become strong because the food sector is sufficient and the economy is also getting better.

Because improving the agricultural sector is the key to the success of a country's economy. Moreover, as an agricultural country, the agricultural sector is the backbone of the economy and the main supplier of labor. By paying attention to the natural potential and human resources possessed, the agricultural opportunities for the country are very large. It is important for every country to optimize the agricultural sector in order to maintain economic stability and meet people's food needs.

I come from an agricultural country and the government has not done much in the agricultural sector. I hope the government will start prioritizing and taking advantage of opportunities from the agricultural sector so that it can be managed well for a better future.

While your points about loans, education, and resource support for farmers are crucial, I'd like to add a few more ideas. Governments must also invest in infrastructure like roads, storage facilities, and market access. This will enable farmers to efficiently sell their produce.  Additionally, combating climate change by supporting climate-smart agriculture will make farming more resilient in the face of environmental challenges.  Finally, public campaigns promoting a positive image of farming are essential to attract a new generation to this vital profession.

One example of such a campaign could utilize social media, television commercials, and educational programs to showcase the journey of food from farms to our plates. It could highlight the hard work and dedication of farmers, the technological advancements in agriculture, and the importance of sustainable practices. By presenting the positive aspects of farming and its vital role in society, this campaign could inspire a new generation to consider a career in agriculture.

Of course, this is just one example, and the most effective campaigns will likely involve a multi-pronged approach.  However, the core message remains the same: we need to value and support our farmers. A strong agricultural sector is essential for a healthy society and a thriving economy.

Farming for me has never been seen as a thing for the poor OP, farming  is obviously a veritable business that people invest a good amount of money in buying farming equipment from tractors, cultivating machines and the rest of it involves a lot of manpower, and all these involves good money. How many poor people can afford to buy those machines, not talk of paying the people that will be working on the farm.  However, I know that a lot of farmers do get some grants from either international organisation or local bodies to help propagate the production of farm products in most countries because agriculture is always given a high priority.

The earth was given to us by God for us to build our home, and God also said that our food would come from the earth. And for this to happen, we need to cultivate the land to plant plants or trees for our food.

It means that everyone is a farmer; we have to cultivate and plant so that we have something to harvest and eat. Apart from planting, we can also take care of animals that we can also eat. So that means all the sources for us to survive are actually in agriculture or farming.

Of course, we as humans need food to survive, and with this of course we need the help of other people. This is where helping each other is important, because not everyone can do everything. there are farmers who take care of our basic kitchen needs, if there are no farmers then we will have difficulties too, it will be difficult with food that no one can take care of, with the existence of farmers in my opinion they have helped many people and I think farming is one of the jobs that have made great contributions, we must be grateful to those who have helped make things easier for us in terms of our basic needs for survival.

But to be able to get basic needs, of course it's not free, we have to have money as a medium of exchange, we can get the necessities we need to survive by buying them. In my opinion, agriculture is very important in all countries, because everyone who lives needs food to survive. It is impossible for anyone to survive without fulfilling their basic food needs.

exactly, farming is very important because it's a natural source of income and it requires little capital depending on the size you choose to cultivate. It is important because it is directly related to life. If you are into farming activity, you will observe that nothing is wasted from the farm products. Also farming activities require not much knowledge to practice it despite the fact that it requires patience and endurance.

While your points about loans, education, and resource support for farmers are crucial, I'd like to add a few more ideas.

yes, government should provide good roads that is very accessible to farmers for efficiency. Government should also make things easier for farmers by providing them with modern farm inputs like seeds, fertilizer and chemicals like herbicides, insecticide and pesticides. Government should also provide them with modern farm tools like tractors, harvesters and sprayers.


Farming is one of the major source of revenue for so many countries all over the world. A government that fails to invest in agriculture should be ready to spend so much money buying food from his neighboring countries. Farming for long has provide food and live stocks for so many countries world wide and not just that, job opportunities are also made available.
there is no doubt in your statement, because if One can not do without eating,then, he or she can not do without a Farmer. even in school they will teach you that revenue generation is one of the importance of agriculture.

It's true that agriculture is a very important sector of a nation but if looked over it can be seen as less mean while it's even more important than some of the mineral resources that some countries focus on agriculture provides food resources for everyone and it makes price of goods and services reduced to some extent. Where almost everyone produces same goods or food it's very difficult for such goods to be very expensive because it will be common to each and every one, perhaps there will be no Ned for importation of food products.
If food products are not imported then the economy will begin to have a better shape because the amount of money that would have been spent of importing goods will be used for other valuables.

One big fact about agriculture is that it could be an economy biggest source of income but some leaders do not see that about it and hence don't invest much on it. If (agriculture) is being taken good care of things will begin to change gradually.

well, An agricultural product often carries the heritage of a country. In other words only regionally carries the culture of that country and many other things. Agriculture not only helps in economic prosperity but also helps in promoting a country to the world. There are many countries where a single agricultural product occupies a large part of the country's economy, thereby creating a large part of that country's economic prosperity.

Without doubt, the issue of food security and the importance of agriculture is a very crucial one for any country whose interests is to pursue economic and social stability. People do look down on those who engage in farming activities but I think that has been a thing of the past and not anymore because with the advancement of technology, farming is also on the next level that even the riches are making investment into it. If you observe keenly, majority of the things we use and consume daily are product of agriculture either directly or indirectly. So, basically we can not do without farming and agriculture.

On the part of government, I think they are trying to some extent to change the narrative. Nigeria for instance was an agricultural dependent country before the discovery of crude oil and government is trying to revert back to agriculture but the transition is not yet successful despite the heavy budget allocation to the sector. Currently, one of the state governor changed his excellency tittle to farmer governor just to showcase his commitment to agriculture.

I think it's a good move towards reviving the agriculture and farming to the state in order to improve their well-being because good food is the beginning of healthy life.

This is quite normal and also quite reasonable to say because we can all see that agricultural products that are so abundant in a country also have a big influence on the good and bad of the economy there. Because this can be directly felt by the community, this must be considered important by all parties so that the community can also carry out other things such as maintaining their health when they are no longer hungry and no longer lack income for a long period of time.

A country that lacks everything but has agriculture to me are more wealthy and opportune to live a more comfortable life than those that depends on other natural resources for the growth of their economy. Agriculture importance cannot be overstated as it is the bedrock of survival for any nation, community and every other living things surrounded there. When you have every other source of natural resources and you don’t have food, you’ll not live long or survive for a longer time. The many opportunities in agriculture makes it important to keep and leverage on while it is very impossible to do away with it because of the infinite benefits it has to the existence of the world itself. To embrace agriculture is to embrace continuous growth, well-being and development of a nation and its people.

The development of Economics is a process of structural transformation and Agriculture is one important means to jumpstart the process.
 Ending hunger and undernutrition and bringing about more job opportunities are also important goals of Agricultural modernisation and will transform Economics.

This is just one of the reasons why Agriculture is important to the growth and economy of a nation. A nation that has what it takes to grow through agriculture should now undermine that process as it has its long term achievements for the development and future of a nation that decides to grow themselves in it. Agriculture has to do with planting, cultivation and harvesting of food crops or cash crops for the benefits of the people which is a major source for survival for every person living in the world today. Without agriculture, a lot of privileges we enjoin as humans will be ceased and we won’t be able to survive on the face of the earth anymore. Just like the oxygen we inhale that derived from plant that helps in many ways for the growth and respiratory function in the body. Agriculture is not something to be joked with but embraced with wholeheartedly.

We should not only concentrate on the ability of the government to provide farming facilities or grant loans to farmers, provide fertilizers or even give outright grants. We should also look at the willingness of the Citizens (especially the youths), to engage in farming. In my country the immediate past government concentrated in agriculture but only certain part of the country (The Northerners), embraced the gesture and the result wasn't as resounding as it ought to be. Most youths do not want to stain their hands for any reasons.

Any country that doesn't have policies that supports agriculture is at the risk of famine even if they are financially strong they can't import everything needed for their people.

What you say is not wrong , but you should not completely blame the government if that country's agricultural sector is not performing well because there are many factors that the government cannot intervene and support the people.  Just like my country used to be an exporter of jackfruit, dragon frui ...and many other agricultural products to the chinese market . But my country's government cannot control the demand and consumption of the chinese market, so if they suddenly stop importing, even the government will find it difficult to rescue all of those agricultural products .

We like to blame the government every time we encounter difficulties, but if we are fair and analyze carefully to find the problem . We will see that there are many problems that are almost impossible to completely solve and sometimes are not entirely the government's fault.

Farming and agriculture is one underated sector that used to be the value of a country wealth and even individual wealth. Since the discovery of crude oil, precious stones agriculture has slipped down in interest from country to individuals but I think it is just the mentality of time.

Food is very important to survival infact on Maslow hierarchy of needs physiological value is far important than any other value meaning agriculture would always be very important.

Using my country for example before crude oil was found we used to export agricultural products like groundnuts, Cocoa, rubber, rice e.t.c and this helped the economy immensely and we had a more stable economy than we have now that we are one of the highest crude oil exporters (although this has to also do with corruption).

Even individually we have ignored the importance of agriculture, it is a sector that can creat independent business owners, form small scale to large scale.
I think you're onto something here. Agriculture is a vital sector that has the potential to create a lot of jobs and improve food security. Well, there are a few different ways that agriculture could be developed in Nigeria. One is to focus on increasing productivity and efficiency through the use of modern technologies, like improved irrigation and fertilization techniques.

  As a matter of fact, if there was no commercial agriculture, there would be no economy, because everyone would have to produce all their own food, which is close to a full time job. Just think. You have to have land, chickens, cows, goats, sheep, horses, (called livestock) and land to grow feed for them, and a place (a garden) to grow your vegetables, and a field to grow wheat and other grains to make bread and whatever else you want to make and eat. And a field to grow cotton or some kind fibre to make your own clothes. And you could only eat and wear what you can produce in your area. If you lived in an area that is too cold for most fruit to be grown, you would not know what subtropical and tropical fruit was, and never eat it. Just think of how the Eskimos lived in older times. The only food supply they had was what they could kill or catch in the ocean. They ate fish and seals and whales and caribou they killed on the land. You ought to go up north and try and live like that for a few yrs.) But thanks to modern commercial agriculture, you evidently don’t even have a clue about how your food gets to the store, where you just walk into any time, you want something to eat. And it comes from anywhere in the world. As well as walking into clothing stores and buy anything you want to wear.
   Farming costs play a crucial role in agricultural economics, influencing the profitability, sustainability, and overall economic viability of farming operations. Farming costs may include expenses related to insurance and risk mitigation strategies. These costs contribute to the economic resilience of farmers, helping them cope with uncertainties such as weather-related events or market fluctuations. Government policies, including subsidies, incentives, and support programs, can influence farming economics. Changes in policy, such as alterations to subsidy structures or trade agreements, may impact the overall cost structure for farmers. farming plays a vital role in providing food security, supporting economies, preserving the environment, promoting cultural heritage, and driving rural development. Its significance extends far beyond food production, making it an essential sector for sustainable development and the well-being of societies worldwide.

There's one thing that you should know about farming and the state of the country you're in right now. If the farmers are among the poorest in the country you're in, your economy's in shambles for sure.

There's no way in hell that the producers end up being the most marginalized and most poor unless some form of abuse or neglect happened along the way which led to the agriculture sector becoming the poorest. In every developed country out there, farmers are one of if not the richest as they own the land they plow and plant crops upon, they control the food supply, which need I say is something that is so vital for our survival, and they receive some of the most advanced form of assistive technology one could get for their line of work. So if you see your farmers plowing their lands with carabaos/cows instead of tractors and other advanced equipments and apparatuses, or even the mere fact that they don't own the land they till, something's severely wrong and a massive economic decline is either afoot, or is about to happen to that country. Keep that in mind. Teachers, Farmers, and Doctors shouldn't be the most marginalized and abused sector in a country.

When there is a farm,  in order to take advantage of it, there must be farmers there, and there can't be none. And when there are farmers, obviously, before they plant rice, they first have to plow the land in the field. So that the harvest of rice seeds will be beautiful.

And when the rice is good, the harvest is also good, for sure, as long as the price given to the farmers is right. The economy of a country will improve if the government itself takes the lead in supporting the farmers, and they will allocate a good program for these farmers so that they will love to plant or farm even more. That can even lead to our country exporting rice to other countries.

Farming is essential in essence we can't do without food production or export in what ever way we need food production to stand strong in our society, agriculture is necessary and op used farming as an example, we have two types of agriculture for example we have the commercial and subsistence farming. I think op emphasis more on subsistence farming cause farmers like this lack the basis needs when farming and it's right for the government to look into the agriculture sector by organizing agriculture program and providing materials needed. In as much as the world is developing and people still adopting the modern development I believe agriculture will grow more to a higher dimension even with the creating of different machines.

Any country that doesn't have policies that supports agriculture is at the risk of famine even if they are financially strong they can't import everything needed for their people. And every politicians knew that but they are not giving much priority because it doesn't put much money in their pockets when they support agricultural activities of individuals so they are not giving importance to it like they do in other kinds that involves corporates.

Agriculture is the main support for human life. The agricultural sector is basically the main means of resilience in a country, not just the military. So I really don't agree if someone says that agriculture is the work of the poor and has no respect, in fact because of them everyone can enjoy healthy food and makes people able to do their work. Can you imagine if the agricultural sector was not running well in your country? If that happens then the government will be very confused about it. In essence, agriculture is one of the sources of strength of a country.

Agriculture is very important for every country. Without agriculture it is not possible to ensure the food of a country.  But these days people have started looking at agriculture in a bad light. According to people, agriculture is the work of the poor. But they don't know how much success can be achieved by doing agriculture with modern technology. And if it is possible to produce different crops in one's own country, it is very beneficial for the country. Govt.  Agricultural training should be provided and loans at low or no interest should be given to agricultural entrepreneurs.
no

Basically,agriculture offers lots of opportunities and ease to individuals and the society at large,if there are individuals with high interest  for growth and also to lessen hunger and uncontrollable strife amongst community members,agriculture valued individuals will eventually make more income which is generated from agriculture.And it will contributes to lower levels of poverty in rural areas.

Farming/agriculture has an Important role to play for the growth of any economy of any country,Since agriculture is considered to be a provider of food, human existence depends completely on it.It provides food, employment, raw materials for industry, foreign exchange, and livestock support.
The agricultural industry is considered to be one of the biggest sources of employment.Depending on the type of farming,but it doesn't matter.Provided it has created It is a source for making money,Whether it’s working as a farmer, harvester,equipment technician and plant scientist,or any other form of employment,agriculture provides employment opportunities to a huge number of people reducing the percentage of unemployment,hardship and poverty and that's something that shouldn't be regarded with zero interests.

Be it any nation it's the backbone as if any country which doesn't prioritize agriculture or farming will be dependent on imports from other nations for their daily needs at a higher price and also it will be dependent forever unless they work on farming and expand it. Look at some countries which will never be starve because they have agricultural resource and some countries does have fertile soil and ground water but government is not supporting farming leading to losses.

I think trend is changing as you see more people are involved in farming and I have seen people leaving high paying job to take up farming and starting up their own company with organic farming and all but some are looting people at exorbitant price in the name of organic. We need more of traditional agriculture.

Yes, of course it is very important to pay attention to the agricultural sector so that the people's economy can be helped by a good agricultural sector and if they say that agriculture is the work of the poor, of course most of the farmers in their area cannot manage the agricultural sector so they are under poverty line or it could be that farmers in that area are more concerned with investing in their assets than showing off their wealth. If the agricultural sector cannot run well, of course food needs in that area will be very high and cannot be helped by food production in their area.

Actually, the Agricultural field is the most important field that all countries have if they will focus on this field it will return high rewards at the end of the day. This field can fulfill the country's needs and also if the growth of the field is getting big then it will also return good rewards to the economy because if the country starts to trade the planted fields outside of the country then the country will generate a way good revenue. It is not just about generating good revenue it is also about generating opportunities for those people who are in search of opportunities. I have seen that people are getting visas for working in fields in abroad countries and they get paid a good amount.

So, the Agricultural field provides both things it can make a country's economy stronger and can also provide opportunities to those people who need them. Well, in some countries the scene of agriculture is really bad they can not grow this field on many bases some of them farmers are not getting the latest technologies that are the basic requirement of the current time and if it is available then it is highly costly that the average farmer can not afford so government should focus on providing cheap things to the farmer so that agricultural field can grow up easily.

Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy
Since the discovering of crude oil in some countries that used to depend on agriculture as their major source of income, agriculture is being looked down because something new is being discovered which is generating more money. Before now most countries depends so much on agriculture, in every family you can always get a farmer, this is what the government has always look up to but right the government is not even encouraging to do more in the agricultural sectors that is why people are not having much interest on it.

The only way people can go back to agriculture which can also produce job for people is if the government can be of support to it by helping to get equipment for the production of agricultural products. One of the reasons why people don't even go into agriculture is because they no modern equipment to cover up over man power.

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities

Maybe some Genz who don't understand the important aspect of life, the ones that are used to process foods and has never for once learn to understand the importance of agricultural farming. What many of us don't understand is that farming is not all about going to a field, clear land, make ridges and sow seed and take care of the farm until it's ready for harvest. Farming involves rearing of animals, without these many home would lack protein and will be deficiency, many would not have milk to feed their babies. What about the rich men that goes commercially into farming.

Quote
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

Everyone can't go back to the farm, there is a lot of professions that doesn't have time to farm, you don't expect a medical doctor to farm, they don't have the time. You don't expect a nuclear researcher to farm, they have a lot to think but what the government should is to encourage people to invest in agriculture. A medical doctor can invest all his money into farming by employing people to do the work and indirectly, he will earn and producing goods will also help feed the nation and also encourage exportation. People neee to go commercial farming.

Correct. Agriculture is very important because humans cannot live without agriculture and with agricultural production a country can prosper. In fact, the farming profession is the profession that is most needed by every human being, but the fact is that many farmers are suffering from the government on the ground. So it is not surprising that the challenges of being a farmer that many people currently experience are, expensive fertilizer prices, expensive pesticide prices, expensive land rentals, uncertain commodity selling prices, difficulty finding workers/laborers, harvest collectors who sometimes like to take big profits. But these problems can all be overcome with government policies, but unfortunately until now several countries in the agricultural sector still receive little attention from the government regarding the problems faced by farmers so that the agricultural sector is slow to develop.

It doesn’t matter if we like it or not, we may be able to live without other things but we no matter what, we cannot live without food. There may be scarcity and inflation but the production of farm products can never stop. And if the scarcity happens, the farmers will be one of the richest people because of demand. But I think that most government are actively investing in farm production otherwise, they’ll end up importing things they could have produced in their country.

Farming gives food security to a nation and if people look lowly on what farming is, I think only third world countries are looking at that.

Because most of the nations that have been farming and just take the example of it with the first world countries, they're giving importance to their farming industry.

And thus, they're even growing it and if they can be innovated. They don't mind in spending a lot of money just to preserve and thrive the farming industry that are in them.

Agricultural farming serves as the backbone of the economy for most countries. When we go backwards, everyone was a farmer, and based on their needs, people started to move towards new professions. At some point, there are no farmers in some countries, as people have come to the mindset that those aren't professionals. Once again, there is a shortage of food, and some parts of the world are experiencing it. Slowly, people have started to cultivate at least to fulfill their own needs.

its one of the thing that made up the economy prominently in a country where they produce dairy food its definitely the bane of their economy, food is always the most crucial thing that comes before the other but its always baffling how some people disregard food importance maybe because there are abundant resources that produce food making it not scarce but once we are hit with food crisis and everything become scarce only then we will realize that food is definitely something that need to be invested into.

in the current economy food is definitely the one that makes up most of the economy anyway in every country whenever it is food is always the first priority and the other follows such as transporting and so on exists because they are prominently being used for transporting food to fulfill the needs of billions people.
therefore its important, farming is important as well its just that some people like to undermine certain field or category just for seeking attention.
even more so with agricultural, the export and import of foods are definitely among the biggest thing there is.

You can now accept cross border payments for goods, without having to deal with slow international payment systems and those transactions cannot be reversed.  ;)

What you say is not wrong , but you should not completely blame the government if that country's agricultural sector is not performing well because there are many factors that the government cannot intervene and support the people.  Just like my country used to be an exporter of jackfruit, dragon frui ...and many other agricultural products to the chinese market . But my country's government cannot control the demand and consumption of the chinese market, so if they suddenly stop importing, even the government will find it difficult to rescue all of those agricultural products .

We like to blame the government every time we encounter difficulties, but if we are fair and analyze carefully to find the problem . We will see that there are many problems that are almost impossible to completely solve and sometimes are not entirely the government's fault.
Yeah true, it is the profitability of it that dangers it. If a nation doesn't pay well enough for farmers, then why would anyone want to be a farmer in the end? Not everything can be grown at buildings or high level cutting edge aqua farming stuff that's rising right now, so some stuff needs to be taken care of by the farmers and while inflation makes everything more expensive, if you still offer cheap prices to farmers then they will stop, simple as that.

When they stop, you will have to buy those stuff from another nation, and that means money out of your country, and if money goes out of your country then the whole nation gets poorer. So, farmers are one of the most important jobs that you need to keep happy if you want self-sustainability for your nation.

But still though, there are a lot of farmers still around at least in our country to make the sacrifices just for the population to have something to eat. And I know it's hard for them to survived in this times as the economy has been shifting or at least the next generation, the sons of farmers doesn't want to toil anymore in the heat of the sun. However, in recent years we have been hit with food crisis, that's why the farmers jobs is more magnified. Hopefully, our government will continue to support them in any way they can because they are still the heart and soul of the population. And they have promised them to really help in whatever way they can. But I will say that our government is the one manipulating the price of let's say the rice, really that bad because of the corruption of some government officials that's why we had like food shortages already.

That's actually sad because whoever embedded that the farmers profession ain't that professional and desirable has got something to do with this.

Without them, we've got no food to eat and that's why instead of growing and making our own food through them, it's more expensive to import products like this.

And the remaining farmers are the ones being hit by this kind of action by the government. There should be a campaign and empowerment to have more farmers.

The difference between desirable job and required job are different. Is farming something we MUST have? Of course it is, farmers are the backbone of every nation and the more you have them the less you will need to import from other nations. But is it a job people do with desire? Of course not, I would reject an offer of double my salary to be a farmer, imagine that, I am fine with 50% less money, just to do what I do instead of farming. Just because a job is important, doesn't mean people love doing it.

This is why I believe that the best thing to do is make farming desirable again, don't know how and it is not my job to figure that out, but government needs to do something to make that as a very profitable business.

In my experience, agriculture holds significant importance, but personal circumstances led me to sell my farm. Sadly, governments often overlook this sector, and corrupt practices further exacerbate the situation. Urban expansion encroaches on farmland, posing challenges for future food security. To encourage farming, authorities should promote technology adoption, such as drones and automated systems, to enhance productivity.

We all know that it is really important to everyone. Farming is really to provide and give us food whenever we need it. I'm really saddened by the people who are affected by that and are being taken advantage of by the government. I hope that those people who take advantage turn around and actually help the people. We all know that it's an essential component of the economy.

There should be things like programs that are able to help those in need and that deserve it.
We clearly underestimate the importance of agriculture in our lives. A person can give up many earthly goods, but not food, which is mainly provided by agriculture. Now that the climate on our planet is changing quite dramatically, the role of agriculture will increase, because the area of arable land will decrease. Soothsayers advise people to move from cities to villages and have a plot of land in order to survive in the future.

I also live in a farming community and they are able to send their children to college and from what I see, agriculture provides opportunities for people to earn money. Now there is a lot of agricultural land being converted and the impact of this transfer means that agriculture is considered to have no future for people who farm. Agriculture is an important sector and agriculture is quite necessary for a country and expansion towards agricultural transition is a path to decline.

Now the types of agriculture and processing are increasingly sophisticated so that people no longer need to exert energy to farm. The problem is that there is no support from the government to develop this sector because the government is more likely to create another sector for human work. In fact, agricultural resources are assets that have the potential to be developed because there are many people who have succeeded in sending their children to college.

Farming has become the most underrated activity in every country, some people believe that farming is only for the poor, not the wealthy people. Farming is the most important thing we need to be concerned about in our lives because no one can survive without food. Some people underestimate every farmer around them because they are wealthier than them, but we must always remember that without farming, we will not be able to get any food, even if we have the money to buy it. For example, what if those farmers decided to stop selling their farm products to rich people? Everyone of us must return to farming because no matter how we purchased the items at home, they will surely finish one day.

No matter how wealthy we are, agriculture is the most important thing we need to focus on. Instead of claiming that we can afford whatever we need with the money we have, let us invest in agriculture, degree is not everything. I understand that it is not an easy to do, but a learner will also become perfect one day. If we have farm products at home, we will not have to spend anything to get the same product again. In my opinion, agriculture is important for human life, and the majority of our government did not provide the require items for them. We should always appreciate and respect each farmers around us.

Yes, when there's no farming I don't know of any way to survive. Because we have to eat before we can survive and everyone knows that farming is original source of wealth naturally. and it's easier to get access to by us since land is a natural gift to us.

Food is becoming a global problem that needs a solution. Yes, if everyone can go into farming, then we have solved half of our problem because people complaining about not having a job can give farming a try. We need food and we must eat so it is a way of providing a solution to a problem and that is what entrepreneurs do they provide solutions, and you can even try irrigation farming or livestock farming, depending on the one you intend to do.

farming is not an easy thing as we can see, there is a lot to learn before farming, and maybe there will be many farmers if they have land but currently agricultural land is outnumbered by buildings, so agricultural land is getting narrower,

Bro, nothing good comes easy. I know a lot of young farmers who make money from farming and since farming is taking on a new shape in a mechanized way, it is much easier than before and you don't even need to have machines because they can be rented or you go for human labor. So just prepare yourself for observation, and there are places you can rent if you don't have money to buy. What annoys me is that people think agriculture is for poor people but they are wrong.

Agriculture is an important sector in a country's economy, because it is related to people's food and national health. Just imagine if a country only depends on imports for their agricultural sector, then that is quite worrying, because just imagine if a situation like Covid-19 occurs again, then that country will have difficulty being able to maintain food in their country. And because of this, many countries in the Middle East have begun to develop many areas of desert into agricultural fields, because they are aware that the agricultural sector not only has an impact on the economy, but also national food security.

Farming is simply the cultivation of lands to get farm produce. This is one of the important sector in country but it is given less attention because of crude discovery. In the olden days, when our parents lived on nothing but their produce from the farms, the lived healthy, no sickness, poverty was at a low rate. Now we import most of our foods, with preservative that is very harmful to our health , and at a high rate. The government should bring back our  agriculture by giving the citizen agricultural loan, sharing of machines, fertilizer and grains to help the farmers. With this, the inflation of foods will decrease

Agricultural farming serves as the backbone of the economy for most countries. When we go backwards, everyone was a farmer, and based on their needs, people started to move towards new professions. At some point, there are no farmers in some countries, as people have come to the mindset that those aren't professionals. Once again, there is a shortage of food, and some parts of the world are experiencing it. Slowly, people have started to cultivate at least to fulfill their own needs.
That's actually sad because whoever embedded that the farmers profession ain't that professional and desirable has got something to do with this.

Without them, we've got no food to eat and that's why instead of growing and making our own food through them, it's more expensive to import products like this.

And the remaining farmers are the ones being hit by this kind of action by the government. There should be a campaign and empowerment to have more farmers.
The difference between desirable job and required job are different. Is farming something we MUST have? Of course it is, farmers are the backbone of every nation and the more you have them the less you will need to import from other nations. But is it a job people do with desire? Of course not, I would reject an offer of double my salary to be a farmer, imagine that, I am fine with 50% less money, just to do what I do instead of farming. Just because a job is important, doesn't mean people love doing it.

This is why I believe that the best thing to do is make farming desirable again, don't know how and it is not my job to figure that out, but government needs to do something to make that as a very profitable business.
We want farmers, not farmers. The issue, right? Throwing money at them helps, but nobody picks a bad job, even if it pays well. Farming pays poorly and is backbreaking, so nobody with options would do it. Farming matters. We must eat. But we treat it like a punishment, not a proud profession. Why? We're brainwashed. Suits in offices, that's success? Please relax. Farmers are despised despite feeding the world. That's wrong

Sure, government can help. Subsidies, better prices...that's practical. But respect? Understanding the amazing skill and knowledge required to farm well? That's missing. The goal is to make farming as admired as doctors or engineers, not just profitable. We must alter our perspective. Food is grown, not magically appeared. That's worthy of praise. Schools should celebrate and teach farming.  Yes, make it profitable, but instill passion. It's a chance to connect with the environment and feed your community, not just a wage

Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways
If your definition of farming centers on just crops (plants) as I see it there in OP, then you don’t know what farming actually is. Or should I say you’re one sided in your definition and have left out a very vital part to farming and that is, rearing of animals.

Farming remains an integral part of our human existence and it’s vital for the survival of humanity. It might have been neglected or undermined but, government remains well aware of its importance and continues to allocates funds for farming in every successive administration. There are always programs about this and as much as a portion of it is been politicized with funds been looted, individual farmers as well don’t stick to budget or aren’t judicious with what is been given to them and the lack of follow up leads to failure.

It’s something that should be looked at as population continues to plummet, we don’t have to add food shortage to our problems. People should be encouraged towards farming and owning a garden or some livestock farms in there backyards.

In my country, there is a negative stereotype about farming. People look at farming as a poor man’s trade because most of the farmers live in the rural areas where there isn’t a lot of social amenities available. And in the cities, there aren’t lots of land available for farming. The cost of leasing a land is expensive, I think that’s the major problem why people aren’t motivated to go into farming. Even those with degrees in agriculture are venturing into other businesses.

My country also views farmers as poor however I know some of the richest people who became rich due to agriculture. Like you said owning a piece of land is expensive and if you could buy acres of land you can turn that into whatever you would like.

You can farm there different kinds of fruits and vegetables. Now you just don’t have a business but you also have basically a supermarket near your house. If I had the capital, I would buy land and farm in there.

It seems that the perspective of society in general has changed towards the world of agriculture as well as towards those farmers who have an important role in taking care of and managing the agricultural ecosystem but many people instead consider that farmers are poor people who even because of this perspective which over time has become a common point of view many young people feel embarrassed to admit that both parents are farmers who are actually farmers are those heroes who have a very important role in developing, taking care of and managing basic food needs such as rice.

I don't explore enough about what triggers the formation of a poor perspective on farmers, which is as you said and it is true that farmers are considered a poor person's job, maybe one of them is as you said that farmers usually live in the countryside and are far from modern, but this is what is needed if we talk about agriculture where the countryside is a suitable place to build and manage agricultural ecosystems well, There are many advantages compared to building agriculture in urban environments where in the countryside the atmosphere is usually still beautiful, there are not many disturbances, many clear water sources, clean environment and away from the name of pollution or factory waste, and all of this is indeed what is needed and can further help and accelerate the growth of the agricultural ecosystem. Meanwhile, in urban areas, as you said, in addition to the high price of land, the situation is not favorable.

Is farming something we MUST have?


farming is not an easy thing as we can see, there is a lot to learn before farming, and maybe there will be many farmers if they have land but currently agricultural land is outnumbered by buildings, so agricultural land is getting narrower,
Farming needs a lot of money for one to have their own farm especially if it's for commercial purposes.
The price of buying fertilizer is now expensive and one needs to calculate twice before making decisions on that.
It is good to farm but it is also a good way to grow the country economy through raw materials that are gotten from plants used in industries.  One need to calculate the expenses that is required before starting to farm.

We expect that farmers are the ones who must be rich here because they have the land, agriculture but not because some of them have a lot of debts and possibly with the supply and demand including the natural occurrence of disaster so they can't pay off their debts instead seek another loan just to try again. Some of the farmers arent go to college, or any schools so other people monopoly their business they seek a lower price for the farmers and because of the transportation they will make additional increases in the price and so on so in the end they get profit than the farmers and some of them instead of having notign they settled with that kind of setup hoping this cycle breaks.

Agriculture is of immense importance in its economy. Different countries of the world have different sectors that play an important role in the economy, one of them is the agricultural sector. Apart from the agricultural sector, the sectors that play an important role in the economic development of a country are the industrial sector, transport and communication sector. Agriculture is required to provide food to every human being in the present world for which the agriculture sector is given the highest priority. I think agriculture is the most important sector among all the sectors of economic development of a country because agricultural products are needed for a man to eat and live.

Moreover, there are many countries in the world today that do not have agriculture or are completely dependent on other countries. Countries that do not produce agricultural products export agricultural products from other countries. As a result, countries that import agricultural products get dollars through agricultural products that are able to play an important role in the economy of that country.

honestly there's so many automated stuff for agricultural purpose that could boost productivity enabling one person to take care of acres of lands for farming using machine its already allowed us to do so much with limited man power, its just that the capital to get started is huge, most of farmer getting a loan on it so that they can boost their productivity but if they fail to have good harvest they might risk losing something.
if government can support people to be a farmer by giving affordable rent price for most of the stuff that enable limited manpower to farm huge lands its gonna be great, it gonna help the country to be self sufficient not too much depending on the import except for things that can't be grown on certain lands but alas most of the government just too focused on the other thing.
even though producing food should be the most important and primary need that a country need to take care of so that if food crisis hits, they at least can do something.

Farming is an important aspect of every economy
Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy
If you want to prosper farmers, the government must provide convenience for them so that farmers can get the best access in farming. Providing loans without interest can provide them with convenience for the planting process or crop yields. But in addition to loans the government must also provide access when the harvest arrives so that farmers' harvests can be sold at a stable price and do not make farmers lose money. Building human resources in the agricultural sector is important because we need agricultural resources for life.

Now agriculture has increasingly developed and people no longer need to depend on physical power because the availability of machines makes it easy for farmers to work on their land. The task of the government is to provide access so that agriculture is no longer underestimated because consciousness or not agriculture is the most important sector in human life.

Indeed, agriculture is very important in a country. Now if there is no agriculture in a country, perhaps that country will experience food difficulties. With us living in a world that needs food to survive, the role of agriculture is very important. In fact, I think the services of farmers are great, because Without them, many people would probably have difficulty surviving. Indirectly, I think we should thank farmers for their services which have helped many people survive.
With countries that don't have agriculture, they only rely on imports and exports or depend on other countries, maybe they experience difficulties. I am grateful that in my country there is a lot of agriculture, agriculture must be maintained and even better developed as time goes by, as technology becomes more sophisticated, so does agriculture. must continue to develop.

In my experience, agriculture holds significant importance, but personal circumstances led me to sell my farm. Sadly, governments often overlook this sector, and corrupt practices further exacerbate the situation. Urban expansion encroaches on farmland, posing challenges for future food security. To encourage farming, authorities should promote technology adoption, such as drones and automated systems, to enhance productivity. Without such initiatives, many may view farming as unprofitable and laborious, hindering its advancement.
Yeah, governments in most countries either don't understand the importance of agriculture or they simply neglect it knowingly instead of showing support and working to make the sector grow because growth in agriculture means growth for the country and a much better future.

The organic food supply of a whole country depends on agriculture and the hard work of the farmers who are always working to plant and crop important food items on their farms and lands, but if governments don't pay any attention to them or provide them the facilities they require to improve the production and everything, ultimately, the sector will start losing interest from people and no one would be ready to get into agriculture in the future and that can be disastrous.

Farmers could do what you say one day if they have more income from other things than just agricultural products. Because most of the farmers currently still rely heavily on income from their agricultural products, this makes them unable to retain the agricultural products so they can sell them to middlemen who often buy them at low prices. I also really want to see that farmers in my area can experience more extraordinary progress with their harvests, but they sometimes still feel forced to sell their agricultural products after harvest to middlemen in their area.

So that is still very unfortunate because there are still many farmers who only survive on their own agricultural products without income from other sectors. So they also can't make the middlemen hungry by holding back their harvest so they don't sell it at a low price. I think this is a very good discourse for farmers so that they can make their own decisions regarding prices which will make it difficult for middlemen to buy agricultural products from all farmers in various regions.

Bro, nothing good comes easy.

So just prepare yourself for observation, and there are places you can rent if you don't have money to buy. What annoys me is that people think agriculture is for poor people but they are wrong.
Machinery helps you do it faster and better, but it is still about having a big plot of land. You can have all the amazing new machines in the world if you want, if you do not have a big plot of land then you can't make a lot of money.

Thanks to these new technological improvements, of course you can control even bigger land and do it, because back in the day it was all manual labour, now it is tractors and other stuff, so one person or at least a small crew, could take care of a whole island size place, but that still doesn't matter if you do not own it. Nowadays farmers decided not to buy all that equipment outright, and they just hire someone who already has it, so they just basically rent their plot of land for a sum.

It cannot be denied that currently, with the development of increasingly sophisticated technology, there are many machines that can make things easier for farmers, regardless of whether they are capable or not, but I think this all comes back to effectiveness which makes it easier and helps farmers to maximize agricultural yields. and make things easier for them.

In some countries, for example agricultural countries, agriculture has a fairly large role because the agricultural sector is the main sector in economic development so I think it is not only individuals as farmers who are sufficient for their needs but also their role in the economic development of a country is very large.

I saw a documentary film on how because the internet era and social media, the international price of avocado was relatively low, and farmers in countries like Mexico sometimes had decided to allow their avocados to fall from trees and get spoiled, because it was not worth it for them to use gas and time to transport them as merchandise to the local market.
When Avocado got some kind of viral status on social media because it's properties as super food, then restaurants all around the world started to order tons of it for their clients.

It sounds unreal, how a good marketing and the globsl presence of social media can boost demand of an specific crop and increasing it's value to the point of being considered to be a very important internacional commodity now.

Hopefully, it will continue to be affordable in the long term for people who live within the tropics.  :)

Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

They can do that by granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers

Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy
It is not just that agriculture is done commercially, marginal and middle-level farmers also do agriculture to fulfill their food needs. But yes agricultural work is very necessary to be done commercially in this new era. Because of the day-by-day development of information technology and due to syndicates farmers are not getting fair prices and people are far away from agriculture. But demand for agricultural products continues to grow as the world's population grows. So by thinking in a slightly different way and increasing the focus on agricultural work besides meeting the needs of the country, it is possible to make any fragile economy strong and sustainable through the employment of the unemployed people as well as earning foreign currency by exporting outside the country. In that case if we think about increasing the use of agriculture-based industrial products the farmers can also play a helpful role in protecting the balance of the country's economy by encouraging them to produce agricultural products by getting their fair price.

Basically, when some things go viral, it becomes quite expensive as well and then a lot of people try to farm it to make that money but then they are usually too late since too many people start farming it and the price starts to drop as well. I personally believe that the best we can do would be just focusing on whatever we enjoy, find what's the most efficient crop for your land, and keep doing that and master that and grow in that crop.

If you keep looking for whatever trendy crop there is online, you are going to maybe make money once or twice, but then you are going to be in saturated market and there is no need for that. Viral marketing stuff are only doable for once or twice, but proper crop management could be a life long career.

The reason why an item is expensive is of course due to the lack of charcoal and when you already have a lot of stock of the item, of course the price of the item must be sold at a cheaper price because the item is easy to find and in this case, of course, those who get the most profits first start planting them so that they will be able to sell at a still high price.

I agree with you, it would be better for us to focus on a plant that we can plant and can easily care for so that we can get profitable results and if we spend time on plants that are trending of course when the trend of the plant is over Of course it will be very difficult for us to profitably market the products of these plants.

Sadly, they are being controlled by the rich people. Their lands was being bought by rich people or their crops are getting funded by rich people or it could be that their harvest are being bought by the rich people at a cheaper price and held it to make it looks like there are a shortage of product to sell it in the market at a much higher price.
Farmers are people with good intentions who only know nothing both to grow their crops healthy to be able to offer the public a good harvest, but the emergence of the businessmen have made everything look complicated in the farming industry. Farmers were supposed to be the one prospering from their own harvest, but these businessmen are actually the one who are earning multiple times the price they paid to buy products from the farmers, and the farmers on the other end are earning a living like an employee who lives from paycheck to paycheck.
Their profit are exclusively enough to buy products in the next planting season.

Their lands was being bought by rich people or their crops are getting funded by rich people or it could be that their harvest are being bought by the rich people at a cheaper price and held it to make it looks like there are a shortage of product to sell it in the market at a much higher price.
Farmers are people with good intentions who only know nothing both to grow their crops healthy to be able to offer the public a good harvest, but the emergence of the businessmen have made everything look complicated in the farming industry. Farmers were supposed to be the one prospering from their own harvest, but these businessmen are actually the one who are earning multiple times the price they paid to buy products from the farmers, and the farmers on the other end are earning a living like an employee who lives from paycheck to paycheck.
Their profit are exclusively enough to buy products in the next planting season.

Agriculture is a field of livelihood for residents in the village, agriculture is one of their economies, every time they harvest in the rice fields their economy is prosperous, because that is their only livelihood, now the price of rice has soared much higher, but the selling price of rice is not continuing to rise down, now the farmers are screaming about their harvest because every time they plow their fields until they harvest they have to spend a lot of money for the sake of the rice fields, such as steel which continues to rise and is scarce, causing them difficulties, when the harvest continues to fall, the price continues to fall, not in line with the price of rice. , because businessmen are now taking advantage of people's harvests in the villages by buying paddy at cheap prices, they are milling it into rice and selling it at high prices, automatically for entrepreneurs and business people who make a profit, those in the fields continue to suffer losses due to incidents like that, So now we also have to think about the fate of people who make a living in the rice fields, sometimes they don't have enough to earn from their own rice fields so they have to go to rich people's rice fields to supplement their daily living expenses.

Farming is an agricultural practices that involves the cultivation of crop's and plants for the consumption of man either in commercial or subsistence ways

Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

They can do that by granting interest free loans, Education of farmers and giving out fertilizer to farmers
Farming is an important aspect of every economy
Let discuss guys what do you think about farming to economy
In some countries, agriculture is thought to be a thing of poor because they aren't developed enough. For example, in my country, people in villages still use hoe, spade, pickaxe and bull for processing the land. Also, people in villages aren't educated, everyone leaves villages to move to cities and those who are left in villages are considered losers in my country. So, we created an economy that depends on tourism and immigrants. We import food from other countries and are heavily dependent on them. This is definitely bad for our country and it really needs to significantly invest in farming. Government has to try to change the poor mentality of people and make farming an honourable job for people, the government should develop villages, build gyms, swimming pools and some other buildings for fun activities, it should build and give free apartments to young people, should give them some money to get farming education and start farming on their own land. This will help the country to secure food. When country has a good agriculture, it has enough space for the rest of the population to focus on different fields, including sports, science and etc...

Did we all know that agriculture is also one of the things that affect some countries, some countries are very poor and lack agricultural resources just because they don’t want to farm or just because they dont want to be seen as a farmer who work before having something to eat, laziness everywhere, but what we have to know is that people who are farming today are people who are enjoying, because no matter how many people cried because of food it won’t affect them and they can still sell some with a huge amount and have a money to buy whatever they need. Even some of our government who don’t value agriculture know that if it is not because of people that are farming it will affect them also, because even if you have money and you don’t have where to buy food you can’t survive and your money is useless.

It will be a very good idea for every government of each country to make sure their country practice agriculture, because the way things are going now, agriculture is very important and with the help of agriculture even the complaints from the poor will reduce, and even the poor and the rich will be happy, but no matter how we talk the some government’s will not even know that he has people in his country.

Politicians dismissing agriculture as old news. That's absurd. Instead of lazy farmers, governments are neglecting a time bomb. Do you believe farmers are enjoying themselves? They'll survive a food crisis, but not the high life. They have expensive costs, tough work, and no respect. They're working hard to feed us, not lounging by the pool
Agriculture drives the global economy, so governments, wake up. Simply put, no farms, no food, no future. Printing money won't matter if nobody grows food. This is about a sustainable future for everyone, not just crops. To close the wealth disparity. Agriculture can do that if leaders stop ignoring farmers. Stop ignoring the individuals who feed you

farming is good it can really help the economy but most of the people specially in my country does not have interest in farming that is why our government always do importation of rice and it becomes so expensive because lack of supply of rice and high in demand, i hope the government will give more support in farming to make people more interested on doing farming works, lowering the cost of fertilizer,insecticide, fungicide, herbicide etc., can maybe help  a lot to low the expenses and make farmer earn by then they will surely show interest on farming because of earning.

without agriculture the economy of a region will be paralyzed, agriculture is a sector that will always be needed by many people, in fact many countries have made agriculture their vital sector, in many regions the negative thing that happens is that the government does not subsidize people who farm by subsidizing the price of fertilizer, even though Fertilizer is something that is really needed for agriculture.
A strong country is one that pays good attention to their agriculture, for example China, currently they have strengthened their agriculture and have the largest rice reserves in the world.

Yes, right. Because the role of agriculture is very important in everyday life, in every country the agricultural sector is a sector that must be prioritized. Because agriculture is related to the production of important food crops.

Apart from that, agriculture can also be referred to as the production, processing, promotion and distribution of agricultural products. So it could be said that agriculture is an important role in running a country's economy or it could also be said that agriculture is the backbone of improving a country's economy. Because apart from being a sovereign country like China in terms of food, agriculture will also open up many job opportunities for the majority of society. So it is very accurate to say that agriculture is an important factor in a country's economy.

In my country, farming is still very important. However, I once had a farming land but I was force to sell it for personal reasons. But I do agree, this sector could be one of the most neglected by government around the world.

And even for some countries, those who lead this industry is somewhat corrupt or at least manipulated some goods to their advantage. And with the development of buildings to house the population, some areas are now being taken by developers, who paid government handsomely so that they can get that farm land. And obviously, in the future there will be no enough farm land for the population and they are going to realized it, but it's going to be too late.

Agriculture is now completely modern and is not the same as agriculture in the past, nowadays all sophisticated equipment is available to become a farmer. What the government must think about now is how agricultural products from the community can be purchased at high prices. Currently, what often happens is that when there is a big harvest, the selling price of farmers' produce immediately drops. This really hurts the hearts of farmers, sometimes there are losses, because the capital that is reduced with income does not match, even though the planting results are good. Bachelor graduates due to limited job opportunities, most of them in villages are already involved in the agricultural sector, this is a positive thing to reduce unemployment

There are banks of agriculture that actually fill in for loans and supporting farmers, and given out fertilizers are suppose to be the responsibility of the federal government. To some knowledge government is actually trying there best but we know how humans most of them might just sell what they have been fgiven to improve there business. Aside economy farming is important to us all. And not matter how everything may be. We must eat.

without agriculture the economy of a region will be paralyzed, agriculture is a sector that will always be needed by many people, in fact many countries have made agriculture their vital sector, in many regions the negative thing that happens is that the government does not subsidize people who farm by subsidizing the price of fertilizer, even though Fertilizer is something that is really needed for agriculture.

Food will always be crucial, despite the way that nations are turning their focus to other resources. Even counties are gradually returning to investing in agriculture since the focus is gradually shifting from gasoline to electric automobiles, which are already on the market and whose demand is gradually declining. They also understand that no one could possibly go a day without food. And if the government have invested in agriculture we would not have been having issues with food security. And the prices of food would have dropped. And if the government does not get involve soon then that is how the price will keep going up.

All countries value their agriculture. It's just different how they manage it so that it grows more, they have a supply in their country, and sometimes they even export to other countries as well.

When agriculture is flourishing in a country, it is certain that the economy of that country is doing well, and if the economy is failing, it means that the inflation rate will not be good either.
So the prime commodities are also affected in the market too.

Countries that do not increase their agricultural production will need agricultural goods from other countries over time. If you do not produce on an agricultural land for a certain period of time, you will reduce the production quality of the soil there. This leads to many expenses. It is difficult to restore agricultural land to its former productivity.

Supporting agriculture is a very important issue in economic policies. It is a huge mistake for states to buy agricultural goods from other countries when they have the chance to produce them themselves. Many studies should be carried out to encourage production and all lands suitable for production should be evaluated.

Is farming something we MUST have?


farming is not an easy thing as we can see, there is a lot to learn before farming, and maybe there will be many farmers if they have land but currently agricultural land is outnumbered by buildings, so agricultural land is getting narrower,
Thank God that we now live in a modern and sophisticated era, so that even on small land we can start farming, there are several types of farming that can be done on small land, namely aquaponic farming and hydroponic farming.

Quote
Aquaponics is a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient-rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponically grown plants.[1][2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics

Quote
Hydroponics[1] is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture which involves growing plants, usually crops or medicinal plants, without soil, by using water-based mineral nutrient solutions in an artificial environment. Terrestrial or aquatic plants may grow freely with their roots exposed to the nutritious liquid or the roots may be mechanically supported by an inert medium such as perlite, gravel, or other substrates.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponics

every year agriculture must become more modern and be able to utilize the land as best as possible, because agriculture will always continue to have a wide market and be needed by many people.

Agriculture is very important for every country. Without agriculture it is not possible to ensure the food of a country.  But these days people have started looking at agriculture in a bad light. According to people, agriculture is the work of the poor. But they don't know how much success can be achieved by doing agriculture with modern technology. And if it is possible to produce different crops in one's own country, it is very beneficial for the country. Govt.  Agricultural training should be provided and loans at low or no interest should be given to agricultural entrepreneurs.

The agricultural sector has a very important role in developing the economy, because the agricultural sector functions as a provider of food for community food security, a provider of employment opportunities, and a source of community income, so that it can reduce poverty rates. And the government's role is very necessary for the development of the agricultural sector so that it can become the backbone of the Indonesian economy.

yes, the government should encourage the citizens to become self-sufficient. in the time of Muammar Gadaffi he encouraged all the families to grow chickens so that they have eggs, i think that worked on them which is why during his time, the country was called the last hope for Africa. anyway, history is cruel to him.

but its time to really make it the right option for people to grow crops in the backyard and farm, chickens in order for the family to have their own food resources without relying on any company for jobs.

This is a good idea, it would be better if everyone knew how to do agriculture, especially in the simple cultivation of vegetables or fruits or even simple ingredients in dishes, right? You've already helped the environment, you can even save money. I hope that even though we are in the modern world now, we should not rely on technology and learn to act in a way that we know will benefit everyone.
