History

Why people started farming?

Early humans used to find their food by hunting animals and gathering wild plants. But then they learned how to plant seeds and grow their own crops, and also how to raise animals for food. This meant they didn't have to move around as much to find food anymore!

⭐ Bonus fact: Farming allowed people to stay in one place and build permanent homes, which led to the first towns and cities.
