VIDEO: The story of agriculture

Crop farmers grow plants for food. These food crops include vegetables, cereals (wheat), alfalfa and fruit. Crop farmers also grow plants to be transformed into other products in factories. These are called industrial crops. For example: white sugar is made from sugar beets and fabric is made from cotton.

Stockbreeding is animal farming. Farm animals are called livestock. They include cattle (cows, bulls), sheep, pigs and poultry (chickens, turkeys). There are two types of stockbreeding: Intensive farming. The animals live in pens and barns. Free-range farming. The animals live in the open and eat grass or grain. Fishing is still an important part of the primary sector in Andalusia. The community has a very extensive coastline, and Andalusian people are the main consumers of fish. There are two types of fishing: Marine fishing. This is fishing on the sea. River fishing. Fishermen catch fish in rivers.

Mining means extracting stones and minerals, such as coal, from under the ground. Miners dig into the soil to reach these natural resources. There are two types of mining: Open mining. When minerals are near the surface of the earth, miners dig quarries. These are large, open holes on the land. Underground mining. When minerals are deep under the earth, miners dig underground mines. These are deep tunnels below the surface.

The secondary sector transforms raw materials into manufactured products. Raw materials are natural resources, such as wood and cotton. Raw materials are transformed into manufactured products in factories. This is called the industrial process.

Her granny liked new technology and she gave her grandchild a mobile phone. Soon the little girl was called Little Red Ringing Tone. One spring morning, he heard Beep Click- Beep. It was her fax machine. There was a long list of groceries her grandma needed: cookies, sugar and bread. Before leaving home, she sent a text message through her amazing mobile phone. : GRANNY, DO U WAN 2 CME L8R 4 TEA? But, oh no! Little Red Ringing Tone pressed a wrong number andoh!! Surprise!!
