I have been in farming and agriculture as my forte of life and career. One thing that we were looking for is to process a particular food. One of the problematic scenes in farmers is how to market their products? But the lifespan was short, and how to travel from farm to market if the good was perishable. If you were a farmer, you would understand that processing is the best choice to solve all the problems.

In farming, there is also a supply and demand but disvalued on this side. To grow more and plant more, you need to look at the requests, and sometimes you must create the orders themselves; that will happen if you process your product, name the brand, and market into sales.
There was also what we called 'food waste.' Remember you are a farmer of apples, yet the market needs the perfect shapes and looks, but what if your product didn't meet all the standards? Does the farmer need to dispose of the trashcan of the apple? Or think of something that will prevent food waste? That is how they created processed apple juice.

Some primary goods also need to be processed; remember that fresh milk is unsafe if not processed. We all know that milk comes from animals, but direct consumption results in something terrible as the new unprocessed dairy is easy to spoil. They need to preserve the nutrients we need in milk, as we don't bother the short lifespan of the commodity.
If you were to go in deeper, what we buy in the supermarket is under processing, even fruits and vegetables already in the process. The wax helps the apple, oranges, and all the fruit to prevent from rotting. That's why the food we buy, even fruits, has been labeled by the company that did the processing.
I alone am an advocator of organic farming or what we call natural food. In the vast scene, when we said organic (natural) prices are much higher than the conventional ones. Raw food away from pesticides needed more attention and care; that is why the prices of that product as extravagant for simple wagers like me.

Processed food will never erase from our daily life. To support my ideas, there is also what we call "Food Scarcity" not all places can farm their fruits and vegetables; some rely on processed ones, as it comes from faraway places.
Food sufficiency is what we look upon some ideas in preserving foods. Where availability of food is all in season, in natural food, as we grew organic, there will be months that we won't see particular food as they did not grow favorable in the environment, what happened we relly in processed one, like a tomato in sauce, mushroom in cans, and even fruits like pineapples that processed in Tibbits.
Processed food also comes from natural food itself. Just that we prolong or enhance the product via processing.
Also, issues about natural and processed are the 'health issues and longevity of life, but it's not all about processed food; we also have activities that are not healthy, not just eating.
I am an organic producer, and most of my blogs and future blogs will also be discussed how I do my farmings, but I am honestly open that I can not live without processed one. Processing has been part of human development, as we love to preserve it.
How about you? What do you think about processed food that you can live without? Such milk, fruit juices, and even meat product? I wanted to read in the comment section; thanks for reading…
