identify and explain various types of agriculture (crop, livestock, fishery)
Fruits and vegetables are perishable, which means they can spoil quickly. Storing them properly helps keep them fresh, clean, and safe for eating and selling. Good storage prevents waste and keeps them healthy.
Storage of farm produce means keeping farm products in a safe place to prevent them from spoiling or getting damaged. Good storage helps to keep food fresh, clean, and ready for use or sale.
Water is very important in farming. It helps crops grow and keeps animals healthy. Without water, farming activities cannot succeed. Farmers get water from different sources to use on the farm.
Shelter is a place where farm animals are kept. It protects them from rain, sun, wind, and dangerous animals. Good shelter helps animals stay healthy, grow well, and produce better meat, milk, or eggs.
Simple farm practices are basic activities that farmers carry out on the farm to grow healthy crops and raise animals. These practices help in preparing the land, planting seeds, caring for crops, and harvesting.
Soil is the upper layer of the earth where plants grow. It is formed from the breaking down of rocks over time. Soil contains tiny stones, air, water, and nutrients that help plants to grow.
Safety on the farm is very important. It helps prevent accidents and injuries while working. Farmers use sharp tools, chemicals, and work with animals, so they must follow safety rules to stay safe.
Processing of farm produce means changing raw crops or animal products into forms that people can use or eat. It helps preserve the products and make them safer and better for human use.
Agriculture is the practice of growing crops and rearing animals for food and other human needs. It includes farming, fishing, and caring for animals to provide food, clothes, and shelter.
