Benefits of Planting Your Own Crops

As a agriculturist, here are some of the major benefits of planting your own crops 👍

• Improve your health 💪  Consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy. When you pick vegetables right from your garden, the vitamin content will be at its highest. Also, you are reducing the risk of eating vegetables that contain harmful chemicals–you know exactly what you're eating. In addition, getting kids involved in the gardening process will make it more likely for them to try the vegetables.

• Save money on groceries 💰 One of the benefits of enjoying garden vegetables is a reduced monthly food bill. You can grow organic vegetables for a fraction of the cost in the stores.

• Get outdoor exercise 💪 Gardening is a physical activity and pulling weeds, planting, and digging can burn up to 400 calories per hour. Gardening is also a good mental exercise and helps keep your mind sharp.

• Gardening is a natural stress reliever 😀 Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine can improve mood and make you feel rejuvenated and overall happy.  Growing your own produce also gives you a great sense of accomplishment.

• Chance to have your own business 💸 Doing agriculture can allow anyone to sell their crops and gain extra revenues.
