    Food production means all the processes involved in growing, raising, preparing, and distributing food that people eat. It includes both natural and industrial methods of making food available.

     

    Here’s a clear breakdown:

     

    1. Crop Production

     

    Growing plants like rice, maize, wheat, yam, cassava, fruits, and vegetables.

     

    Requires land preparation, planting, irrigation, weeding, and harvesting.

     

     

    2. Livestock Production

     

    Rearing animals for meat, milk, eggs, and other products.

     

    Examples: cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, pigs, and fish.

     

     

    3. Fishery (Aquaculture & Capture Fishing)

     

    Rearing fish in ponds, tanks, or cages (aquaculture).

     

    Harvesting fish from rivers, lakes, and oceans (capture fishing).

     

     

    4. Forestry

     

    Cultivation and harvesting of trees and forest products like fruits, nuts, honey, and mushrooms.

     

     

    5. Processing and Preservation
