Agriculture began with the domestication of plants and animals. This led to the development of civilizations and the growth of cities. Agriculture allowed for the growth of civilizations and the rise of cities. It also allowed for the growth of food surpluses, which led to the development of trade and commerce.<\/p>\n

The beginnings of agriculture date back to the Neolithic Revolution, when early humans began to domesticate plants and animals for food. The exact date of the Neolithic Revolution is a matter of dispute, but it is believed to have occurred between 10,000 and 5,000 BCE.<\/p>\n

The Zagros Mountain range in Iran and Iraq was home to some of the world’s earliest farmers. Sometime around 12,000 years ago, our hunter-gatherer ancestors began trying their hand at farming.

The Egyptians were one of the first peoples to practice agriculture on a large scale. They started in the pre-dynastic period from the end of the Paleolithic into the Neolithic, between around 10,000 BC and 4000 BC. This was made possible with the development of basin irrigation.<\/p>\n
