Farming, or agriculture, is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock to produce food, fiber, medicinal plants, and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. As one of the oldest and most vital professions, farming has evolved significantly from the domestication of plants and animals approximately 10,000 years ago to the complex, technology-driven industry it is today. Modern farming techniques include a variety of approaches, from traditional organic farming to high-tech methods involving genetically modified organisms (GMOs), hydroponics, and precision agriculture that uses GPS and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. These advancements aim to increase efficiency, maximize yield, and minimize environmental impact. Challenges such as climate change, soil degradation, and water scarcity necessitate ongoing innovation in agricultural practices to ensure food security for the global population.
