Are farms part of nature? Are they more or less "natural' than say a garden?

Nature consist of different species growing amongst each other. Those species adapt to the weather. They find ways to protect themselves against pathogens and herbivores. They used the herbivores as a way of reproduction. The herbivores carry the seeds to other places to grow. So yes, I think farms are a part of nature. The farmer goes different types of vegetables and fruits. He finds way to protect them against weather and he grows them in seasons that he knows they will do well. He uses pesticides to prevent damage by pests. The farmer is used to move them around so that they can reproduce.

A garden is the same as a farm. The gardener follows the same steps to prevent damage to their flowers. Both the farm and garden needs the help of people to continue to grow. Without, the garden will be overrun by weeds. So when it comes to "natural", neither is more natural than the other.
