It is a fundamental aspect of agriculture and plays a critical role in providing sustenance and raw materials for human consumption. Here is some information on farming and its functions: Crop Farming: Crop farming involves the cultivation of plants for food, fiber, and other agricultural products. Farmers select suitable crops based on factors such as climate, soil conditions, market demand, and their own expertise. Common crop types include grains (wheat, rice, corn), vegetables, fruits, oilseeds, and cash crops like cotton or tobacco. Livestock Farming: Livestock farming focuses on raising animals for meat, milk, eggs, and other products. This includes cattle, poultry (chickens, turkeys), pigs, sheep, goats, and more. Livestock farmers provide feed, water, shelter, and veterinary care to ensure the health and well-being of the animals. Livestock farming often goes hand in hand with crop farming, as animals may consume crop residues or be raised on pastures.
