Crop farming

Crop farming is a common means of food production all over the world and its importance is not expected to decrease in the future. Crop farming techniques allow food to be grown and harvested en mass, while decreasing the risks associated with plant disease, insect damage and inadequate soil hydration. Fruits, vegetables, grains, soy, nuts, tobacco and cotton are all important foods and agricultural products produced nearly exclusively through crop farming.  Recent technological advancements have led to improvements in crop farming, resulting in less damage to the environment and better crop yields.
