I need help :( When did the development of agriculture occur? Explain why it was so quickly accepted as the preference food source by people living in settlements.

The development of agriculture occur circa around 8000-6000 years ago. It was a time where many nomadc population begin to settle in a place, thus effectively starting the civilization as we know now. it was a huge shift for humanity and it was probably one of the most important, if not the most important achievement in human history.

It was quickly accepted as the preferred food source by people living in settlements because it could be planned and organized, thus helping people reaching a balance easily and preventing them from being dependent from the results of hunt and gathering. it was a safe and sicure way to assure food for everyone.

Have a great day hope that helps
