Answer the following questions in detail.
19 Describe the "Journey of the Grains" from the farm to your plate. Mention at least four steps shown in the pictures (e.g., sowing, watering, etc.).
✅ Answer: The journey begins when the farmer sows seeds in the soil (Step 1). The plants grow with the help of sunlight, water, and air (Step 2). Rain falls and helps the crops grow (Step 3). The farmer adds manure to the soil, and cattle help in the fields (Step 4). Earthworms keep the soil healthy (Step 5). The farmer takes care of the crops (Step 6). Then the crops are harvested (Step 7 & 8). The grains are cleaned and taken to the shop (Step 9 & 10). Finally, the family cooks the food (Step 11) and we eat it (Step 12).
