Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 Pre-Vocational Studies, Agricultural Science. In our previous lesson, we learned about the importance of agriculture. Today, we’re going to learn about the people involved in agricultural activities.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Identify fishermen as participants in agricultural activities. * Identify crop farmers as participants in agricultural activities. * Name three examples of agricultural activities.
People Involved In Agricultural Activities
Agriculture is a vital part of our lives, providing us with food and other essential resources. There are many people who work hard to make sure we have these things.
What are Agricultural Activities?
Agricultural activities are all the things that people do to grow food, raise animals, and produce other products from the land. Some of these activities include: * Planting Crops: This involves preparing the soil, planting seeds, and caring for crops like vegetables, grains, and fruits. * Raising Livestock: This involves understanding the care and management of animals like chickens, goats, cows, or pigs for meat, milk, and other products. * Fishing: There are different fishing methods, types of fish, and the importance of fishing in providing food. * Harvesting: Harvesting is the process of gathering mature crops, and students can be taught how to do this effectively. * Agricultural Processing: This includes activities like turning harvested crops into food products, such as making flour from wheat, or milk into cheese.
Fishermen
Fishermen are people who catch fish and other seafood from the sea, lakes, or rivers. They play an important role in agriculture because they provide us with a source of protein and other nutrients.
Crop Farmers
Crop farmers are people who grow plants for food, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans. They are essential for providing us with food and other products, like cotton for clothing.
