Farmers are responsible for all crops and livestock that are needed for us to survive. Without food, the world would slowly die, and farmers work hard every day to keep plenty of crops and animal products in the market to keep that from happening.

Food, shelter and clothing—there is no time or capacity for anything else. This is your life without farming. And although most of us still spend a lot of time thinking about (or taking pictures of) food, we don’t have to. Farming allows us to spend our time on things other than hunting and gathering.

If any country suffers from the scarcity of farmers, prices increase, destroying the flow of trade. India exports a good amount of agriculture products, and without farmers, agriculture products can’t be supplied that will impact international trade.

Nope, Agriculture is the very basis of modern human civilization. Without it their would be no food. Without food you cannot survive, most people cannot grow their own (at least in sufficient quantities) so without someone to do it for them, they would not survive.

THE ENVIRONMENT SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION: In a world without industrial farming, a quarter of the total greenhouse gases worldwide would be reduced , 45 percent of the planet’s land currently used for grazing or growing feed for animals intended for consumption freed up, between 20 and 30 percent less drinking water …

There will be no food for the whole country, and it may end up very badly, People will die due to starvation, They may eat fish, eggs, chicken, but they won’t get their Vegetable requirements. Thus, leading to malnutrition, Economic stability of the country will fall down too.

If we combine pastures used for grazing with land used to grow crops for animal feed, livestock accounts for 77% of global farming land. While livestock takes up most of the world’s agricultural land it only produces 18% of the world’s calories and 37% of total protein.

Answer. Farming Without Water. Through a technique known as dry farming, farming without water, Little’s potatoes and squash receive no irrigation, getting all of their water from the soil. Mediterranean grape and olive growers have dry-farmed for thousands of years.

Rice consumes about 4,000 – 5,000 litres of water per kg of grain produced. But it is no aquatic crop: it has great ability to tolerate submergence. Water creates unfavourable conditions for weeds, by cutting off sunlight and aeration to the ground.

10 Ways Farmers Are Saving Water

1. Drip Irrigation. Drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to a plant’s roots, reducing the evaporation that happens with spray watering systems.
2. Capturing and Storing Water.
3. Irrigation Scheduling.
4. Drought-Tolerant Crops.
5. Dry Farming.
6. Rotational Grazing.
7. Compost and Mulch.
8. Cover Crops.

These include cool-season legumes such as peas, lentils and fava beans, and the crucifer crops: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, broccoli, turnips and watercress. Sweet corn and lettuce are shallow-rooted and don’t do well without a lot of water.

Cucumbers are made up of around 96% water – that’s the highest water content of any food. They’re also low in calories, and a source of vitamins and fibre. Tip: Add cucumber to your salads, snack on cucumber vegetable sticks with hummus or blend cucumber with mint and lime to make a refreshing drink.

Growing and processing crops and livestock consumes large quantities of water; therefore, the water footprint of food is high. Animal products, especially, like meat, dairy and eggs (all of which tend to require more water than fruits, vegetables and beans) have an even higher water footprint.

These drought-tolerant vegetables will thrive even in the hottest temperatures….Popular choices include:

• Lima beans.
• Pole beans.
• Corn.
• Cowpeas, black-eyed peas and field peas.
• Edible amaranth.
• Quinoa.
• Mustard greens.
• Okra.

Here is a list of some herbs and vegetables that can tolerate drier conditions and higher temperatures.

• Amaranth (harvest and eat leaf amaranth like spinach)
• Arugula.
• Asian Greens (a wide selection here)
• Asparagus. This is a perennial.
• Beans (bush and pole)
• Broccoli (Sun King Hybrid)
• Cabbage.
• Chards.

15 Top Veggies to Grow in the Heat

10 Drought Tolerant Plants That Can Survive Dry Climates

• Agave. Amazon. Thank God for agave.
• Echinacea. Amazon. Purple coneflowers like full sun!
• Sedum. Amazon. If you’re looking for a drought tolerant ground cover, sedum plants are it.
• Russian sage. Amazon.
• Black-eyed Susan. Amazon.
• Yucca. Amazon.
• Lantana. Amazon.
• Yarrow. Amazon.

Seasonal Care. Cucumbers are a warm-season crop because they’re frost sensitive, but they are also sensitive to heat. They grow and fruit best in full sun at temperatures from 55° to 85°F, with optimal growing temperature between 65° and 75°F.

Heat Tolerant Greens to Try This Summer

• Perpetual Spinach (Leaf Beet Chard)
• Jericho Romaine Lettuce.
• Red Malabar Summer Spinach.
• Speckled Bibb Lettuce.

7 Heat-Tolerant Plants that Love the Sun

• Lantana.
• Lemon Verbena.
• Cosmos.
• Marigold.
• Geranium.
• Salvia.
• Sedum.

Collard greens are a cool-season crop that is planted six to eight weeks before the last frost date for the region; however, you can plant collard greens in the hot weather of midsummer for a fall crop and enjoy two crops in one year in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 and higher.

Collards tolerate more heat and cold than most other vegetables grown in Texas. They are easy to grow, productive, and well suited to either large or small gardens. Collards grow best in cool weather and need as much sunlight as possible.

Collard greens are a biennial plant. But if you’re somewhere cold, it’s only an annual unless you take extreme measures.

And the brilliant thing is once you harvest the first leaves, your collards will grow back and will regrow even quicker giving you a cut-and-come-again crop for weeks and weeks if not months.

Collard greens are in the same plant family as cabbage, broccoli, kale, and cauliflower, so they should not be planted together. If planted in large quantities together, they will use the same nutrients in the soil, resulting in generally less nutrients that the plants need.

Good Companion plants for Collard Greens include:

• Potatoes.
• Celery.
• Dill.
• Chamomile.
• Sage.
• Thyme.
• Mint.
• Pennyroyal.

Will Frost Kill Collard Greens? In fact, frost actually improves their taste as cold temperatures trigger the plant to convert the starches in the foliage to sugars which produces a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture. However, a hard freeze will kill the plants – but there are steps you can take to protect them.

Use a high-nitrogen fertilizer, such as nitrate of soda (15-0-0) or calcium nitrate (16-0-0), or a garden fertilizer with high concentrations of nitrogen and less phosphorus, such as 27-3-3, 24-0-15 or similar formulation.
