Agricultural societies

Agricultural societies are communities that primarily rely on farming and cultivating crops for their livelihood. These societies depend on the growth of plants and domestication of animals, which provides food, clothing, and shelter. Over time, agricultural practices have led to the development of towns, trade, and more complex social structures. Innovations like irrigation and crop rotation have increased productivity. Agricultural societies differ from hunter-gatherer groups as they establish permanent settlements, enabling population growth and the emergence of various occupations beyond farming, contributing to cultural and economic evolution.
