Farming has been an important part of human development for centuries. When people realized that they could manipulate food to grow in a certain way and at a certain time, it changed the way people gathered and ate food forever. Farming has been extremely important for many years, and for a long time, only the food that could grow naturally in certain areas and times of year was able to be grown. However, with modern science, that too is changing. We can grow fresh fruit and vegetables all year round, and genetically modify plants to grow bigger and be less susceptible to pests. We can eat food from other countries very easily with just a trip to the supermarket, something our ancestors will never even have dreamed of doing. That in itself is incredible. With the world’s growing population and the ever-increasing demand for food, farming is becoming more important than ever.
