There are numerous occupations in the world today. It can be Professional or Non-professional. However, the oldest of them all is farming otherwise refered to in a broader term as Agriculture.

Farming can be traced back to the creation. Man was the last creature God created (Genesis 1:26,27; 2:7). Then he put all other creatures in his care. Man became the Custodian of all creatures (Genesis 1:26,29-30; 2:15,19 & 20) after God had created all things.

The first Farmer was Adam whom God created in His image (Genesis 2:5). This man, Adam was involved in various types of farming

(Perennial or biennial).

Meanwhile this work continued even after he and his wife was expelled from the garden of Eden because of their disobedience to God. They had two sons (Cain and Abel) who chose different kinds of farming. Cain specialized on crops farming (Genesis 4:2,3) but Abel specialized on animal rearing (Genesis 4:2,4).

Surprisingly, though there was loss of lives of all creatures due to annihilation by God, leaving only a family and few animals, farming still continued.
