Everything Everywhere Daily

The History of Farming


Listen Later

Over 10,000 years ago, humans began to cultivate and raise crops. Back then, a single farm could maybe grow enough food to feed a family and perhaps a little more.

Today, a farmer in a developed country can grow enough food to feed hundreds of people. 

The path from agriculture’s ancient roots to a modern mechanized farm wasn’t a straight line, and it relied on several major innovations throughout history.

Learn more about the history of farming and the innovations that increased production on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
