Etymology
'farming-based' originates from the combination of 'farming' and 'based', where 'farming' refers to the practice of agriculture and 'based' indicates a foundation or reliance on something.
'Farming' comes from the Old English 'feorm', meaning 'provision', and 'based' comes from the Old French 'basse', meaning 'foundation'.
Initially, 'farming' meant 'provision or food supply', but over time it evolved to mean 'agricultural practice'. 'Based' has retained its meaning of 'foundation'.
