Everything comes in its own packaging and people become disassociated with the process of growing that food. Agricultural farms all over the world work daily to provide people with the food that they need in order to live.
While the plants are growing, the farmer will use pesticides to ensure that the crops remain free from pests and illness. In the case of organic farming, these pesticides are substituted with more natural methods, such as cultivating pest predators or rotating the crops.
After the plants have matured, it is time for the harvesting. Since most farms are pretty substantial, the harvesting is performed by machinery. From the fields it is a trip to the market or to a processor that will ensure that the crops are cleaned and sent to their various destinations.
There is nothing in life that is instantaneous. Everything takes time and agricultural products are no exception. It takes months to grow the crops and get them to the point where they are ready to be harvested.
It is hard work but once you understand the process and the risks that farmers take, such as with pests, unpredictable weather, and crop or animal diseases, you will be able to fully appreciate that food on your plate.
