It's is very essential to farm now because without farm produce most people will stay hungry and the rate of crime will increase.
During the corona virus, so many persons travelled to their villages for farming, and I can tell you that during that period, lots of people discovered their potentials, some persons whom I know that they don't like farming ventured into farming, because it was the only way to survive, but I can tell you now that till date, those people still do farm work because they have seen the benefits of farming.
