Detailed explanation-1: -Owing to its impact on civilization, the transition from hunter-gatherer to farmer has been described as the most important technological development ever to occur in human history. By becoming farmers, humans were able to gather in greater numbers, have better and more consistent nutrition and develop technology.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hunter-gatherers kept traveling from place to place whereas farmers had to live at the same place for longer periods of time to take care of their crops. Hunter-gatherers depended on meat of wild animals whereas farmers and herders used plants, crops and cattle along with meat.
