Agriculture is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning atleast 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs,sheep, and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago.
Modern acronomy, plant breeding,agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers,and technological developments have sharply increased crop yields, while causing widespread ecological and environmental damage. Environmental issues include contributions to global warming, depletion of aquifers, deforestation, antibiotic resistance, and growth hormones in industrial meat production.
