Crops
Crops are a source of food and some other materials. While each crop is slightly different, crops all have some similar principles. In order to start growing crops, you will need some Seeds, which can be obtained by searching for Wild Crops and breaking them.
Once you have obtained seeds, you will also need a Hoe. Seeds are also useful as bait.
In addition to finding wild crops, seeds can also be produced from existing crops. When a fully mature crop dies - either by weather, or leaving it to rot - it will go to seed, dropping more seeds that can be used to grow even more crops next season.

To get started, a Stone Hoe can be knapped as seen above.
Once the hoe head is knapped, it can be crafted into a Hoe.
Hoes function as in Vanilla, by right clicking dirt blocks to turn them into Farmland. They can also be used to convert Rooted Dirt into Dirt.
Growing Crops
All crops need to be planted on farmland in order to grow. Some crops have additional requirements such as being waterlogged or requiring a stick to grow on.
Crops do not need nutrients to grow, but they certainly help. There are three nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. Each crop has a favorite nutrient.
Consuming its favorite nutrient causes a crop to grow faster, and improves the yield of the crop at harvest time. That means that crops that consumed more nutrients drop more food when broken! Consuming a nutrient also has the effect of replenishing the other nutrients around it a small amount.
