Introduction to Farming

Farming, the practice of cultivating plants and rearing animals for food, fiber, medicinal plants, and other products, is the backbone of the global economy. It encompasses a range of activities including crop production, livestock rearing, and agroforestry. In India, farming is not just an economic activity but a way of life for millions, deeply rooted in the country’s culture and traditions. The vast and diverse landscape of India supports a variety of farming practices, influenced by regional climates, soil types, and socio-economic conditions.
