History of Agriculture
Before knowing about agriculture, it is also necessary to know about its history.
Friends, agriculture has been started from thousands of years ago. Before the beginning of agriculture, people (primitive humans) used to eat fruits or hunted animals. Later he came to know that a new plant of the same type grows in the ground when the fruit or seed falls. Then they understood that plants could be grown in one place to produce more fruits or grains to eat.
First they started farming by cutting down the forests, thus agriculture developed. 7500 BC Human beings first started growing crops, at this time wheat and barley were grown.
And animals like horse, ox etc. were used, although their first domesticated animal was the dog. But from the point of view of animal husbandry, the first domesticated animal of primitive man was sheep (8700 BC), and the second domestic animal was goat (7700 BC). Emmer Wheat (Triticum dicoccon) and Einkorn Wheat (Triticum monococcum) were previously grown in wheat.
Agriculture developed independently in northern and southern China, the Sahel in Africa, New Guinea, and many regions of the Americas.
