Detailed explanation-1: -More abundant food supplies could support denser populations, and farming tied people to their land. Small settlements grew into towns, and towns grew into cities. Agriculture produced enough food that people became free to pursue interests other than worrying about what they were going to eat that day.
Detailed explanation-2: -What kinds of social changes resulted from this transformation of food production? The surplus food that agricultural systems could generate allowed for people to live in larger, more permanent villages. Villages were more productive not only agriculturally but creatively.
Detailed explanation-3: -Marketable surplus refers to the difference between the total output produced by a farmer and his self-consumption from that output. In other words, it is that portion of the total produce that the farmer sells in the market. Marketable surplus = Total farm output produced by farmer-Own consumption of farm output.
