By Amanda Lewis


Over the year agriculture in the city Missouri has been the source of income for many people. Benefits vary at a wide range including economically, communally and in cultural terms. Small scale farmers usually harvest these foodstuffs which includes harvests like vegetables and other foods that are consumed within the homestead. The surplus products are usually taken to the local markets for sale. The following are the merits of local produce Missouri.

A source of revenue. Surplus yields can serve as sources of revenue for small scale farmers. When they sell these harvests they are earn an income and are capable to satisfy other basic needs like their children education, afford better health care services which in general compromise a contented lifestyle.

Local production as a form of socialization. Farming can also become a form of socialization. This is through relation among people while working together in farms, buying and selling farm harvests and equipment or during routine farm workshops. From this relationship they learn new ideas in marketing, and adapt modern farming methods to increase their rate of their production.

Source of work. Farming will increase the employment opportunities in a society when it is practiced widely. This implies to local production where there is dependence on manpower rather than machines because machine use is not applicable due to the size of farms. Manpower is required in farm preparation, planting and also in harvesting the products. This benefits the farmer with enough revenue to cater for their familial requirements.

Environmental conservation. Cultivating reduce the rate of air pollution hence creating a conducive environment for animal habitat such as animals and birds. Similarly, the farming has ensured that there is preservation of animal food reserves since there is no increase rate of deforestation in the attempt to create farm spaces. Adding to that, soil conservation have been major advantage of cultivating native yield since crop rotation maintain high level of minerals and salts in the soil.

Proper utilization of land. Farming has sensitized people within the rural area on the importance of embracing farming as a source of income. As a result this will lead to the proper use of unused lands. These will reduce the rate of rural urban migration in attempts of searching job opportunities and also will reduce the rate at which people in towns depend on the rural food production whereby even them practice localized farming.

Maintenance of natural tastes and adequacy of nutrients. Intake of the farm yield will reduce low intake of foods rich in proteins and energy giving foods which lead to anemia respectively, even though they take longer periods to grow compared to genetically modified foods.

Health benefits. When one consumes fresh farm produce they are at an advantage because they have not lost their nutritional value. Harvests tend to lose their nutritional content the moment they are harvested having minimal nutritional value to our bodies. One should also note that the nutritional value is lost when produce is manufactured refrigerated or dried.
