Typical plan of a mediaeval English manor, showing the use of field stripsA farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily processes with the primary objective of producing and other; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as, vegetable farms, fruit farms, and, and land used for the production of, and other. It includes, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as and, both of which can operate on land or sea.Farming originated independently in different parts of the world, as societies transitioned to food production rather than, food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock in the in western Asia, soon to be followed by the cultivation of crops. Modern units tend to specialise in the crops or livestock best suited to the region, with their finished products being sold for the retail market or for further processing, with farm products being traded around the world.Modern farms in developed countries are highly.

In the, livestock may be raised on and finished in and the mechanization of crop production has brought about a great decrease in the number of agricultural workers needed. In, traditional family farms are giving way to larger production units. In, some farms are very large because the land is unable to support a high stocking density of livestock because of climatic conditions. In less developed countries, small farms are the norm, and the majority of residents are, feeding their families and selling any surplus products in the local market.

A harvesting crops with mule-drawn wagon, 1920s, USAThe word in the sense of an agricultural land-holding derives from the verb ' a revenue source, whether taxes, customs, rents of a group of manors or simply to hold an individual manor by the of 'fee farm'. The word is from the medieval Latin noun firma, also the source of the French word ferme, meaning a fixed agreement, contract, from the classical Latin adjective firmus meaning strong, stout, firm. As in the medieval age virtually all manors were engaged in the business of agriculture, which was their principal revenue source, so to hold a manor by the tenure of 'fee farm' became synonymous with the practice of agriculture itself.History. Map of the world showing approximate centers of origin of agriculture and its spread in prehistory: the Fertile Crescent (11,000 ), the Yangtze and Yellow River basins (9,000 BP), and the New Guinea Highlands (9,000–6,000 BP), Central Mexico (5,000–4,000 BP), Northern South America (5,000–4,000 BP), sub-Saharan Africa (5,000–4,000 BP, exact location unknown), eastern North America (4,000–3,000 BP).Farming has been innovated at multiple different points and places in human history.

The transition from to settled, societies is called the and first began around 12,000 years ago, near the beginning of the of the around 12,000 years ago. It was the world's first historically verifiable revolution in agriculture. Subsequent step-changes in human farming practices were provoked by the in the 18th century, and the of the second half of the 20th century. Farming spread from the Middle East to Europe and by 4,000 BC people that lived in the central part of Europe were using to pull plows and wagons. Types of farm A farm may be owned and operated by a single individual, family, community, corporation or a company, may produce one or many types of produce, and can be a holding of any size from a fraction of a to several thousand hectares.A farm may operate under a system or with a variety of or crops, which may be separate from or combined with raising.

In the United States, these dairies are usually local companies, while in the facilities may be run by very large nationwide or trans-national corporations (such as ).Dairy farms generally sell male calves for, as dairy breeds are not normally satisfactory for commercial production. Many dairy farms also grow their own feed, typically including,. This is fed directly to the cows, or stored as for use during the winter season. Additional dietary supplements are added to the feed to improve milk production. Poultry farm. Main article:A pig farm is one that specializes in raising pigs or hogs for, ham and other pork products and may be, intensive, or both.Ownership Farm control and ownership has traditionally been a key indicator of status and power, especially in European.

The of farm ownership has historically been closely linked to. Medieval was essentially a system that centralized control of farmland, control of farm labor and political power, while the early American, in which land ownership was a prerequisite for voting rights, was built on relatively easy paths to individual farm ownership. However, the gradual and of farming, which greatly increases both the efficiency and capital requirements of farming, has led to increasingly large farms. This has usually been accompanied by the decoupling of political power from farm ownership. Forms of ownership In some societies (especially and ), is the norm, with either government ownership of the land or common ownership by a local group. Especially in societies without widespread industrialized farming, and are common; farmers either pay landowners for the right to use farmland or give up a portion of the crops.Farms around the world Americas. A typical North American farm with farmstead in, CanadaThe land and buildings of a farm are called the 'farmstead'.

Enterprises where livestock are raised on are called. Where livestock are raised in confinement on feed produced elsewhere, the term is usually used.In 1910 there were 6,406,000 farms and 10,174,000 family workers; In 2000 there were only 2,172,000 farms and 2,062,300 family workers. The share of U.S. Farms operated by women has risen steadily over recent decades, from 5 percent in 1978 to 14 percent by 2007.In the United States, there are over three million migrant and seasonal farmworkers; 72% are foreign-born, 78% are male, they have an average age of 36 and average education of 8 years.

Farmworkers make an average hourly rate of $9–10 per hour, compared to an average of over $18 per hour for nonfarm labor. Their average family income is under $20,000 and 23% live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level. One-half of all farmworker families earn less than $10,000 per year, which is significantly below the 2005 U.S. Poverty level of $19,874 for a family of four.In 2007, corn acres are expected to increase by 15% because of the high demand for ethanol, both in and outside of the U.S.

Producers are expecting to plant 90.5 million acres (366,000 km²) of corn, making it the largest corn crop since 1944. Main article:is a significant economic sector in.

A farm is an area of land used for primary production which will include buildings.According to the UN, 'green agriculture directs a greater share of total farming input expenditures towards the purchase of locally sourced input?(e.g. Labour and organic fertilisers) and a local multiplier effect is expected to kick in. Overall, green farming practices tend to require more labour inputs than conventional farming (e.g. From comparable levels to as much as 30 per cent more) (FAO 2007 and European Commission 2010), creating jobs in rural areas and a higher return on labour inputs.'

Where most of the income is from some other employment, and the farm is really an expanded residence, the term is common. This will allow sufficient size for recreational use but be very unlikely to produce sufficient income to be self-sustaining. Hobby farms are commonly around 2 hectares (4.9 acres) but may be much larger depending upon land prices (which vary regionally).Often very small farms used for intensive primary production are referred to by the specialization they are being used for, such as a dairy rather than a dairy farm, a piggery, a market garden, etc.

This also applies to feedlots, which are specifically developed to a single purpose and are often not able to be used for more general purpose (mixed) farming practices.In remote areas farms can become quite large. As with estates in England, there is no defined size or method of operation at which a large farm becomes a. Main article:Farm equipment has evolved over the centuries from simple hand tools such as the, through ox- or horse-drawn equipment such as the and, to the modern highly-technical machinery such as the, and replacing what was a highly labour-intensive occupation before the.

Today much of the farm equipment used on both small and large farms is automated (e.g. Using guided farming).As new types of high-tech farm equipment have become inaccessible to farmers that historically fixed their own equipment, reports there is a growing backlash, due mostly to companies using law to prevent farmers from having the legal right to fix their equipment (or gain access to the information to allow them to do it). This has encouraged groups such as and Farm Hack to begin to make for agricultural machinery. In addition on a smaller scale and the open source community has begun to make open-source farm tools available of increasing levels of sophistication. See also. Gregor, 209; Adams, 454.
