In The Promised Neverland, the world is divided into two. One is the unseen world of humans. The other world where the main character Emma and her friends live is the world of demons. In the demon world, humans are farmed on farms and eaten. So, what exactly are farms? In this article, we will introduce the farms in detail.
The reason for the creation of the farm

The current calendar is 2046. Long before that, demons made a living by hunting humans. The humans who were hunted eventually began to take up weapons and kill more demons than they were eaten. And while the demons originally hunted humans for food, they gradually began to hate humans. In the midst of this endless fighting, the humans made a proposal. Let's live in our own worlds. To completely separate the human world from the demon world. This promise marked the end of the conflict and the reason for the creation of the farm. Emma and her friends' ancestors were left behind as a gift to cultivate humans as food for the demons. It's like a territorial dispute in a war in the human world.
The purpose of GF Farm

GF Farm seems to place emphasis on raising very talented children. In order to promote healthy brain growth in the children, they do not expose them to fear and measure their academic ability with daily tests. Even though it is a farm, the personalities and abilities of the children are diverse. At the plant where Isabella worked as a mother, the children with the lowest academic ability were sent out in order from the age of 6 onwards, but girls who survived until the age of 12 were given the chance to become mothers. As it is a high-class plantation, it grows food for high-ranking people, mainly aristocrats.
Four High-Class Plantations
There are four high-class plantations in this world. You can tell which plantation a child belongs to by the part of the body where the identification letters are written and how they are written. In fact, it was also a high-class plantation where there was a path leading to the human world.

The farm where Emma and her friends grew up was the best farm in the world. Among them, Emma, Norman, and Ray, who achieved a perfect score, must have been the ultimate meal for the demons. The farm is made up of the headquarters and five plants. And those who come from GF Farm have a number engraved on their neck.
GB Farm (Glory Bell)

This is the farm where escapees such as Yugo and Lucas were raised. A string of letters and numbers is engraved on their stomachs. Considering that they escaped in large numbers, this must have been a farm that raised very intelligent children.
GV Farm (Grand Valley)

The children gathered in the Secret Garden are basically the children of this farm. Lord Bayon has connections to this farm, and secretly ships them out alive, enjoying hunting with his companions. Everyone in the village who comes from GV Farm has a number and an alphabet engraved on their chest.
GR Farm (Goodwill Ridge)

This is one of the farms left in Minerva's message, but the details have not yet been revealed. However, the demons say that there are only four high-end farms, so it seems that they have not gone bankrupt even now.
Mass production farm

There are said to be many mass production farms in the world. This is probably modeled on the way humans raise geese to make foie gras. They don't exercise, they just feed them and make them fat. They are conscious as humans, but they can't even speak a language. The produce is then harvested, but mass-produced farms seem to be subject to the occasional robber. Security isn't necessarily perfect.
Lambda 7214 Project and the New Test Farm

The Lambda 7214 Project and the newly constructed test farm that accompanies it were in the Minerva data. The contents of the plan are still completely unknown. After being shipped out of GF Farm, they are taken in by Peter Ratri and brought to this farm as research material. This Peter Ratri is the descendant of the family that made a pact between humans and demons, and is also Minerva's younger brother. This is the relative who betrayed Minerva, and he is also the person who led Lord Bayon to Gold Pond at that time. Anyone who enters this farm has some kind of mark stamped on their chest. What exactly is Project Lambda? ?
The Farm and the Demon Society

After the promise of the world was made, Lord Bayon invested in 24 farms, managed 12 farms, and was in charge of 6 farms. Since the word "investment" is used, there is probably some kind of system that indicates wealth. We don't know if it's a monetary system like in modern society, some kind of barter system, or simply the ability of strength and wisdom. Religion also exists in demon society, and a class system has been established. Also, demons have longer lifespans than humans, so perhaps they don't have the concept of lifespan. This is another mystery that has yet to be explored.
Finally about the farms of this world

The story of The Promised Neverland is still full of mysteries and foreshadowing. There are still many things that have yet to be revealed, such as the seven walls, Minerva's movements, the highest demon, and Grandma. We have to go and save Phil and the others in the next two years. I can't wait for the sequel!
