How can I get villagers to farm crops on Minecraft Xbox One Edition? According to the Minecraft Console Edition History the latest version of Minecraft is CU10 as of March 2015.
PC tutorials show that you need to trade with the villagers to give them the crops they need to plant and then they go around farming automatically. According to this page, the ability to give villagers these items exists as of version 1.8.
The differences between the console edition and pc version, according to Gamepedia, do not list villager trading / farming. I would have thought this would be a significant difference to list, if it existed.
What I'm trying to figure out is, how does version 1.8 fit with version CU10 – if we can't get villagers to farm, how far off are we from this version-wise? Is there a proposed update in the works for this? Are there any alternative methods?

Villager Farming is not possible on the Console Version of Minecraft as of version TU22/CU10.
Have a look at the changelog for Villagers. The PC version has the following entry, under 1.8 (14w04a):
Contrarily, this is absent from the changelog for the console version. In fact, villagers have not been updated since TU14, which is (very) roughly equivalent to PC version 1.3.1 according to the Version Overview.
