Agriculture is the best profession
Come to think of it, it will be difficult to do without agriculture and farming. Humankind cannot survive without agriculture because most of our foods come from agriculture and farming. Maybe the world can survive without agriculture if we can start downloading our foods to eat from the internet. Is that even possible? Well, answer that for yourself. Agriculture is so vast and unfortunately still underrated. Most people regard farming as a poor man's job. But I have conveniently seen people engaging in the agricultural profession richer than many university graduates. Agriculture will continue to stay relevant even for hundreds of years to come. Why, because we simply cannot do without eating.
Agriculture is so vast and not limited to crop production alone. Animal husbandry and care are also under agriculture. It's like a branch from a wider tree of agriculture. You can't possibly utilize all the potential embedded in the agricultural sector. If you know agriculture. You can't go hungry. Most people have enough food to eat and give out because they are farmers and farmers always have food to eat and store for the future. When the economy is in recession and there is not a lot of money to go around, you can always have something in store for your consumption as a farmer.
One of the necessities of life is food and agriculture solves that need of man. There are many things you can do in the agricultural sector. You can rear crops and animals. We derive quality food from agriculture. You can get milk which Is essential for the human body from cows. I have always wanted to learn how to grow some crops like yams, beans, and many other food products. Many would have been unemployed if there isn't agriculture. Agriculture should be embraced by all and sundry. It's the oldest profession of man. Farmers are so insignificant that we accord little respect to them in society. If you see a farmer, there is already some kind of stereotype attached to them such as being "local", which is not so. Because without these people who plant food crops for us, many will have gone on a hunger strike.
I learned about farming when I was in high school. Then, we were taught how to grow and maintain little crops like yam, cassava, and other tuber crops. I also learned how to plant cucumbers. I could remember my first harvest, though the cucumber was so small in size I was happy nevertheless. I ate my harvest without giving anybody then. Farming can be large-scale or low or medium-scale. Some people farm for sustenance purposes, others for commercial purposes. Either way, it's a profitable profession that feeds millions of people.
A country can have an absolute advantage over other countries in international trade especially if such a country produces food products that might not be able to be grown in other countries. Don't ignore agriculture, it might be the work that pays you the most.
