Agriculture

The beauty of farming👩🏽‍🌾

Agriculture encompasses crop and livestock production, aquaculture, and forestry for food and non-food products. Agriculture is a key factor in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species create food surpluses that enable people to live in the cities. While humans started gathering grains at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers only began planting them around 11,500 years ago. Sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle were domesticated around 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. In the 20th century, industrial agriculture based on large-scale monocultures came to dominate agricultural output.
