How Does ‘Yield Farming’ Relate to the Concept of a Liquidity Pool?

Yield farming is the practice of leveraging assets in a liquidity pool to earn additional rewards beyond the standard trading fees. LPs deposit their tokens into a pool, receive LP tokens, and then often stake these LP tokens in a separate protocol.

This staking earns them governance tokens or other cryptocurrencies as a secondary incentive, effectively "farming" yield on their provided liquidity.
