Farming and it importance to the economy

[D ltr]

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,

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.

Farming is a part of Agriculture Without farming it is almost impossible to provide food and without food we cannot survive. Agriculture sector exists in every country yet a country imports various things from other countries and adds to the economy of the country which exports them. The more advanced the country is in terms of farming, the faster the country can grow economically

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.

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 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 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.

How will the economy run in a balance mode if we are not including the agricultural farming sectors to it, this is the ultimate source of livelihood because we cannot perform any 3conomic activities without having sufficiency in food supply through farming, it's a good idea if the governments can device means of supporting for more in agriculture, fund it a d help the local farmers in food production techniques for man sustainability.

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. Farming activities is something that can be done even in our own houses.

Is farming something we MUST have?

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.

[JoyMarsha]

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

[slapper]

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

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.

I’m also surprised OP didn’t mention animal farming, maybe he’s a vegetarian lol.

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.

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.

[Peanutswar]

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.

[AirtelBuzz]

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.
