farmers often use fertilisers, the fertiliser contains the phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium the crops need and the fertiliser just replenishes the minerals in the soil so the crop has enough minerals
They Can Use Groundwater
There's not enough rain to water the crops. The farmers have to get the water that runs off the mountains to where the crops are.
Earlier farmers watered their crops by wooden plows. This was back in the older days.
Farmers in the region often rely on irrigation because the natural water supply through rainfall may be insufficient or unreliable to support crop growth. By using irrigation, farmers can ensure a consistent water supply for their crops, leading to higher yields and better overall productivity.
Farmers can add minerals to soil by applying fertilizers that contain the necessary minerals. They can also rotate crops to increase mineral availability in the soil. Additionally, organic matter decomposition can release minerals into the soil.
People who only raise enough crops to feed their families are called "subsistence farmers".
Subsistence farming
Farmers diversified their crops
Kenyan farmers need to sell their crops in order to make enough money to live. If they could not sell their crops, much of what they grow would go to waste since it is more than what they could use themselves.
they had hunt, grow enough crops for their families
Farmers raise crops through a combination of activities such as preparing the soil, planting seeds or seedlings, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and protecting plants from pests and diseases. They also monitor the growth of the crops and harvest them at the right time to ensure a successful yield.
there wouldnt be enough crops to be grown, since all the nutrients has been took out of the soil. cannot grow more crops in the desert
