INTRODUCTION

Importance of Farm Practice

The global economy depends significantly on agriculture. According to the industrial agriculture

and small-scale farming (nd) Agriculture is still the world's largest industry and a significant source of

income. Commodities, or basic goods used in business and trade, such as grain, livestock, dairy, fiber,

and raw materials for fuel, are also provided by agriculture to the world economy. According to the

Balance Small Business (nd) Agriculture impacts society in many ways, including: supporting livelihoods

through food, habitat, and jobs; providing raw materials for food and other products; and building

strong economies through trade. Chait (2020) agrees that Agriculture impacts society in many ways,

including: supporting livelihoods through food, habitat, and jobs; providing raw materials for food and

other products; and building strong economies through trade. According to US EPA and US DA (nd)

Agricultural products provide essential resources for daily activities, such as: getting ready for work in

the morning, thanks to coffee and clothes; washing hands with soap; fueling vehicles to travel; preparing

and eating food; and minding health through medicines and treatments.

Knowing a country's capacity to feed its own population in the event of war or conflict is also

extremely important. According to Soubam (2020) Agricultural practice has been the main reason

behind human settlement since immemorial time. But, with the increase in population, there has been

loss of agricultural land, and the demand for food has increased. It is important for the young

generations to know the basics farm practice in terms of soil preparation, sowing, manuring, irrigation,

weeding, harvesting to storage (By Ju’s, 2019).
