Most of the food we eat comes from farms. A farm is a place where plants and animals are raised for food. A farm may grow vegetables or grains like wheat. A farm may raise cattle and pigs for their meat.
The work of raising plants and animals for food and other products is called agriculture.
Agriculture began about 10,000 years ago. Before then, people got the food they needed by killing wild animals or eating wild plants. Agriculture began when people started to grow their own crops and tame wild animals for ilk and meat.
The modern farmer uses many machines. With then, the farmer today can raise much more food than farmers of the past. People must have food to eat. For this reason, agriculture is probably the world’s most important kind of work.
