farmer
[C] Countable
pl: farmers
This term evokes a sense of labor, stewardship of the land, and a direct connection to the food supply. It carries a connotation of hard work, resilience, and often a traditional or rural lifestyle, though it can range from a small-scale subsistence grower to a corporate agricultural manager. In modern usage, the word is frequently associated with sustainability and organic movements, shifting from a purely vocational description to one that implies a specific philosophy regarding ecology and nature.
The word is used to count individual people who engage in farming, such as seeing ten farmers at a local market.
