    The history of agriculture began with early farmers domesticating animals and cultivating crops along river valleys, where seasonal flooding provided water and nutrients to support growth. As populations increased, irrigation techniques were developed to farm in more arid areas. Over thousands of years, agriculture advanced from simple farming of crops and livestock to today's large-scale commercial operations that produce food and other plant products around the world.
