Farming Activities

Definition

Farming activities refer to all tasks involved in growing crops and rearing animals for food, fiber, medicinal plants, and other products used to sustain life.

Analogy

Imagine farming activities as a big school project where different team members have different roles - some research (planning crops), some write (planting), others edit (harvesting), etc., but everyone works towards one goal - completing the project successfully (producing food).
