People At Work: Farming

Before farming, people lived by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. When supplies ran out, these hunter-gatherers moved on. They started to settle down near rivers where the land is very fertile. They found an alternating method called Farming.

Farming meant that people did not need to travel to find food. Instead, they began to live in settled communities, and grew crops or raised animals on nearby land. They built stronger, more permanent homes and surrounded their settlements with walls to protect themselves.

When humans started farming in 10,000 B.C, there were no tools invented.  So people did ploughing, sowing, watering and everything they did manually.



Then slowly population increased.  Small groups has become small colonies and colonies become community and city, country so on. Slowly the need for farming also increased. So they tamed animals and used them in farming.


 


As the need increased they started using machines like tractor, motorized pumps etc.
