人類為何農耕?farming is more time saving than picking wild food?

Seedlings were drying because of the sunlight.
菜苗果然如同嬰兒,需要無時無刻的照料。偶爾只是一天不見,所有的菜苗就快枯死了。從另一方面想,要不是人類為了減少到野外採集食物所花的時間,還需要如此費力照料蔬菜嗎?人類拋棄採集食物的生活而選擇農牧生活後,真的有讓自己更為幸福快樂嗎?
I just realized how much effort that we need to devote to farming. Is farming a better choice for human beings instead of picking food from the wild? Human beings choose farming to save time but spend more time on growing food. Does that make sense?

They were watered heavily.

Non-heading Chinese cabbages grew more leaves and taller in a few days. I can't help to expect a great harvest. However, elder farmers keep remind me of caterpillars issue. 
看到小白菜的苗長的那麼快,不禁開始期待豐收的時刻。不過所有老經驗的菜農都說不噴藥就沒得吃。可是,我也不想吃下有毒的農藥啊?難道,真的會這麼慘?
