No, because you still have to do work and make a product when farming. The same can’t be said for gambling.
the activity of risking money on the result of something, such as a game or horse race, hoping to make money
Agriculture fits: you put in resources and hope that weather/pests/etc. will leave enough for you to survive
Yeah, everything is gambling. Real deep.
It actually is, unironically. Goes to "your breath is gambling" level deep and more
Agriculture is a low risk bet that is that reduces variability and isn't all or nothing. Gambling is a high risk/reward zero-sum game.
Reducing variability is just how we are doing it now, not what it is. And I can just as well not bet all my money in one go. Besides, seen recent (last decade) news on climate changes? Doesn't look like low risk for agriculture to me
