Farmer
Grows the food that comes to your plate.
What they do
A farmer ploughs the field, sows the seeds and waters them. Months later there is wheat, rice, sugarcane or vegetables.
The rice in your dinner grew in somebody's field first.
Where they work: In fields, in villages, in the sun and the rain.
Let’s pretend
Plant a few methi or moong seeds in a small pot of soil. Water them a little each morning and see what happens by the weekend.
