Response Questions To The "History of Foods" Article: Mechanization

Agriculture began around 11,000 BCE, enabling human civilizations to settle rather than be nomadic and allowing populations to grow. Between 1650-1850, the world's population more than doubled from 550 million to 1.2 billion, driven by global agricultural evolution and expanded transportation of crops. In the early 1900s US, industrialization and mechanization through machines sped up food production substantially, transforming the supply chain. Agricultural industry concentration allowed industries to control production amounts, goods prices, and what was produced.
