Key Terms

Farm: Land where people grow crops or keep animals to produce food.
Crop: Plants grown by farmers, such as wheat, potatoes, or apples.
Livestock: Farm animals like cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What do farmers do every day?

Farmers plant and care for crops, feed and check animals, fix fences or machines, and watch the weather so food can grow safely.

Why is soil important on a farm?

Soil holds water and nutrients that plants need. Healthy soil helps crops grow strong, which means more fruit, vegetables, and grains for people and animals.

How can children learn where food comes from?

Children can visit farms, read books, watch videos, or use KS1 Geography quizzes to see how food travels from fields to shops and homes.
