 We
have several periods of agricultural development.
The
Neolithic humans
shifted from hunting food gathering to farms and
husbandry in established towns, Thousands of years
later Britain developed agriculture which
concentrated on better land use, crop rotation and
better husbandry. Within the last century scientist
using genetic engineering, insect/pest control and
industrialized husbandry caused an explosion in per
acre production. With each stage the working
conditions, machine use and the income of the
farmers, herders and ranchers changed our world. |
