The future generation is more engaged with technology so we wanted to introduce farming through Steemit. The role of agriculture in meeting the global food gap is immense. A large part of the world's population is involved in agriculture. They are constantly engaged in agriculture. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about 27% of global employment is in the agricultural sector. This equates to about 2 billion people. However, this number may vary in different regions, as employment in agriculture is much higher in developing countries. Agriculture is said to be the key to the economy of middle-income countries like Bangladesh. We all need to know about this to take agriculture a step further towards technology. Steemit can be the medium to know this. Rice is the staple food of about 3.5 billion people in the world. Rice is the staple food for nearly half of the world's total population. Rice is used as an important part of daily diet especially in Asia, Africa and Latin American countries.We know that paddy cultivation is the mainstay of rural economy. Farmers earn a lot of income from paddy cultivation, which helps to improve their standard of living. So we posted about rice cultivation method.The topical knowledge of agriculture helps support our family as well.
