We continue with our monthly report on the value of steel with a look at some of the ways that steel is being used in our day-to-day lives to foster our development and well-being.

Part 3 - steel: growing our food

Agriculture without steel is unimaginable. From tilling the land and planting seeds to watering, harvesting, storing and transport crops, steel is a vital part of agriculture. Steel also facilitates the feeding, shelter and transportation of livestock. Some steel industry by-products are even used as fertilisers.

Steel has been involved in agriculture for much of history. From basic tools, such as hoes, picks, shovels, and forks, to the most technically advanced tractors, ploughs and harvesters, steel is there. Continual developments in steel agricultural equipment have made farming easier and more efficient. In developed countries, as little as 3% of the workforce can feed the entire population, compared to over 75% just a hundred years ago.

On the farm

Steel’s durability and versatility make it ideal for countless farming applications. It is used for pipes and irrigation systems, for water tanks and buckets, and in scythes, sickles and shovels. Wool and fleece are gathered using steel shears and scissors. Many types of feed storage facilities are built ofsteel, including barns and silos. Steel is also an ideal material for automated animal-feeding systems. Crops and livestock are brought to local and global markets on trucks, trains, planes and ships – all made with steel.
