The first main point I'll cover on this topic will be job creation.
The industry generates employment opportunities across the production, processing, distribution, and retail sectors.
From farm workers to food scientists to truck drivers, millions of Americans are employed in these interconnected fields.
This not only provides livelihoods but also supports local economies in rural and urban areas.

How does climate change affect your crops? Are most of them disadvantages?
Yes they are, climate change can disrupt food availability, reduce access to food, and affect food quality. For example, projected increases in temperatures,
changes in precipitation patterns, changes in extreme weather events,
and reductions in water availability may all result in reduced agricultural productivity.

The 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest is an ongoing protest against the three farm acts which were passed by the Parliament of India in September 2020. What can you say about this? Do you agree with them?
Slidkalniņš: 5
Yes, Small farmers suffer from many production risks like drought, flood, lack of adequate use of inputs. Some newer crops require more water than parts of India have to give.
Loan systems left millions of Indian farmers in crushing debt with no way out. These acts shouldn’t be done because a farmer's main goal is to
produce a good crop and healthy animals in order to make a living and to feed the population. Farmers are responsible for all crops and livestock that are needed for us to survive.
