Farming
- Working the land
- Using land for agricultural purposes
Description
Farming involves the systematic cultivation of crops and rearing of livestock to produce food, raw materials, and other resources essential for human survival. This strategy addresses food security, rural livelihoods, and resource management by employing techniques such as soil preparation, planting, irrigation, pest control, and harvesting. Effective farming remedies hunger, supports economic development, and mitigates environmental degradation through sustainable practices, crop rotation, and efficient resource use, ensuring long-term productivity and ecosystem health.
