Farmers help city dwellers survive so much that with out farmers city dwellers (well actually EVERYONE) would die. Farmer produce all of the food that we eat, so with out farmers there is no food and without any food we'd starve.
young people traveled to the city to get jobs
Masdar City was officially launched in 2008. It is a planned sustainable city located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and it aims to be a model for future cities by integrating renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and cutting-edge technology.
Drainage. Water can come in large amounts based on rainfall and sudden and intense storms and this water will collect in low places on land that is flat. Digging ditches that give the water a channel lower than the level of the field can provide a level of drainage to minimize damage from flooding. However, this is not to be taken as a "cure all" for the devastation of a sudden flooding storm or potential infrastructure damage as in the case of a break in an irrigation canal. Planning and strategy come into play in farming much more than most city people might think. ;)
This is a very good idea as it is cheaper and better for the environment. The only problem is that we do not have the technology yet to be able to apply this to support an entire city let alone town. It will be many years before we have the technology feesable to do this.
farmers move to the city and start working
Technology introduced advanced machinery and farming methods that increased productivity, allowing fewer farmers to produce more food. This led to rural job losses and encouraged people to seek better opportunities in cities, where industrial jobs, were emerging.
There was a surplus of food, and farmers moved to the city.
City dwellers lived in urban areas such as neighborhoods and downtown districts, while urban farmers typically lived on the outskirts of the city or in peri-urban areas where they could have access to larger plots of land for farming. Urban farmers often sought out areas with fertile soil, access to water sources, and enough space to cultivate crops or raise animals.
cash crops, technology, debt, competition from corporations and jobs in cities.
Farming changed the lives of early New Yorkers by allows the area to support a larger population. As the city grew, farmers had a market close by. The city dwellers had access to a larger food supply.
They arrived as nomads, and settled on the land to secure a stable living as farmers. This changed over time as some turned to shepherding, fishing, trade, artisans and artists, but the core occupation of a city-state was farming, from which they got their daily bread.
Egyptian farmers were more fortunate than Mesopotamian farmers because the Nile River flooded predictably every year, providing fertile silt for farming. In Mesopotamia, farmers relied on unpredictable Tigris and Euphrates River floods, which could be destructive. Additionally, Egyptian farmers had a more centralized government that managed irrigation systems, while Mesopotamian farmers had to rely on local city-states.
Borrowing money allowed people to invest in new opportunities in the city, such as starting businesses or pursuing education, which wasn't possible with limited farming income. This encouraged people to leave farming for the potential of higher earnings and a different lifestyle in urban areas. Additionally, industrialization and urbanization created a demand for labor in cities, drawing people away from rural areas.
Believe it or not, the City of Ottawa, Canada's Capital City, has declared itself to be the "Farming Capital of Canada."
farming
singapore is a city state. totally dependant on food exports. 700 sq km2 land area= lack land area= high tech farming only possible. technology is up to standard. skilled labor. educated population, high-tech farming feasible.
