Detailed explanation-1: -The innovations in agriculture radically changed how humans produced food. Crop rotation and livestock breeding resulted in higher yields, while new mechanical equipment required fewer workers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Early farming methods included slash-and-burn farming. This is still used in some parts of the world today, such as Southeast Asia, central Africa, and northern parts of South America. Early farmers cut trees or grasses and then burned them to clear a field. What remained were ashes, which in turn fertilized the soil.
Detailed explanation-3: -When early humans began farming, they were able to produce enough food that they no longer had to migrate to their food source. This meant they could build permanent structures, and develop villages, towns, and eventually even cities. Closely connected to the rise of settled societies was an increase in population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cope with climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. Satisfy consumers’ changing tastes and expectations. Meet rising demand for more food of higher quality. Invest in farm productivity. Adopt and learn new technologies. More items
