The OP discussion of farming is presented in an open sphere, the country ought to be specified. Because in an advance society, farming is imperative. One need not to lay emphasis on it.
Farming is an activity in the agricultural sector. It entails the production and cultivation of crops (cash/food), animals, vegetables, fishes, birds, etc.
The engagement of these activities could enhance the Gross Domestic Product GDP of a nation which improves the foreign exchange earnings of the nation.
But some nations play lip service to these agricultural activities. On the basis of this, poverty and hardship penetrate to all the social classes of the society. The situation worsened when there is no segment of the population that volunteers to engage in commercial farming, at best for exports.
