many people say farmers create the food, but actually, the plants do most of the work, they’re out there in the field every day, growing. while the farmers only visits twice a year: to sow and to harvest

    Yes, the plant does the growing - because of the work the farmer does. Carefully selected, tested and bred seeds (for example) become a single monoculture thriving against diseases, pests and other plant species whilst living in demarked land that is just right - nice ph, correct composition with sufficient nutrient, aeration and irrigation.

    None of that happens by accident.
