The Farming Revolution

The Farming Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, was a period when humans shifted from hunting and gathering to farming, around 10,000 years ago. This change allowed people to grow crops and domesticate animals, leading to permanent settlements and population growth. It increased food production, supporting larger communities and the development of civilization. Innovations like plowing, irrigation, and better tools improved efficiency. This revolution marked a fundamental turning point in human history, setting the foundation for modern agriculture and complex societies by transforming the way humans obtain and manage food resources.
