agricultural workforce

The agricultural workforce includes all individuals involved in producing food, fiber, and other farm products. This encompasses farmers, farm laborers, managers, and others who work in planting, tending, harvesting, and processing crops and livestock. The workforce's size and skills can vary depending on technology, farm size, and economic factors. It is essential for food security, rural economies, and the overall supply chain. As agriculture modernizes, some roles become more technical, but the sector still relies heavily on a dedicated workforce to sustain food production and support rural communities.
