I would give a short story
My mother has a garden and the little leftover portion of land in our compound's backyard. Being one who grew up with having to go to the farm with her grandmother whom she lived with, farming for my mother is more of a hobby than a duty.
My mother plants vegetables of various types in her garden. Some grow, some don't, some thrive much more than others. Some did not even get planted yet they sprouted.
One day I'm home from school and my mother cannot stop talking about her new sprout of vegetables. I followed her to check them out and met such lush goodness.
Whilst I lay on the ground with my phone, trying to get as many shots of these vegetables, I am reminded that these vegetables have saved us times too in my family. Days when we need to prepare a quick meal cause there's an unexpected guest or you're just hunger for some greens, all it takes is a walk to the backyard and the meal is set.
Agriculture is life
Fresh food is life
