More About agricultural diversification

Long ago, farmers grew just one crop. This was hard if that crop did not do well. Now, farmers grow many kinds of food. They can grow fruits, veggies, and grains. This helps them and their towns.

When farmers grow more types of food, we have more to eat. We can find fresh fruits and veggies at the store. This makes us healthy and happy. It also gives jobs to people in our towns.

In the future, farmers will keep trying new things. They may grow new crops or sell food in new ways. This will help them and us too!
