I took this photo when I went on hike with my family. These are fields near the town of Siġġiewi. Agriculture is very important in our lives. Siġġiewi is a tipical agriculture village. Most of the crops and foodstuffs produced by the farmers are consumed dometicaly. Most local farmers harvest wheat and potatoes they also grow peaches and plums. Nowadays farmers use the drip irrigation system to water their crops. Most of the local farmers do their work manually due to the relatively small size of the fields. Agriculture is very important for us beacuse if we do not have fruits and vegetables we can not stay healthy and these products all come from agriculture.
