Farming a global solution

Food is part of the things that make life easier, eating healthy meals makes life fun and easier. Like the saying goes, "a hungry man is an angry man," when one is hungry, nothing matters more than to eat and fill the stomach.

We have different food for different cultures and tribes, food also varies with countries. Different countries have their favorite foods that are accustomed to such countries.

Nigeria is blessed with different tribes, and each tribe has foods that they take pleasure in. I belong to the Yoruba tribe, and the food pop-up army known to this tribe is amala, known as yam flour, and ewedu soup, known as jute leaves. Amala is obtained from yam and also from cassava; it is widely consumed in Nigeria by the Yoruba tribe.

There are many sources from which we can get our food; the most common sources are plants and animals. Both plants and animals produce ninety percent of the food humans eat. They are good sources of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins for the human body system, which helps fight against diseases that might hinder the proper functioning of the human body.

Gone is the era when people didn't want to go into farming; food cultivation was not only for the illiterate. Elites are now going into farming on a large scale, producing food at the commercial level. Aside from producing on a large scale, people now devise means for a small garden in their various homes to grow essential plants needed for consumption in their compounds, where they can easily access them and cook.

Plants produced foods such as maize, cassava, rice, and beans, among others while animals produced food such as meat, fish, and egg to mention but few. Farming is a very lucrative business, and one of the things that gives it its uniqueness is food production. Humans must eat to survive; everyone would want to purchase a variety of foods to maintain healthy living.

Eating a good and balanced diet makes one healthy, which makes food a major part of living as a human. Farming could be stressful, but its rewards are massive and cannot be underestimated. We are now in an era where agriculture holds an important place and plays a vital role in the economy of any country. It also contributes to the financial heritage of such a country. A food-producing nation is a rich nation.

Farming produces livelihoods and generates jobs for millions of people; it contributes to the development of a nation. Farming is important for international trade; it plays a big role in a nation's revenue.

Farming also generates raw materials for other industries to produce their finished goods for either consumption or human needs. This made life easier for humans and helped build strong financial boundaries in countries where farming was encouraged.
