Factors of
Agricutural
Revolution
4 The growth of plants in
garbages.
-Plant remains tossed out in
the garbage sprouted.
-This produced new crops
from the discarded materials
that could be easily
harvested.
-People developed a
systematic way of throwing
out parts of plants.
-A drier climate reduced the
availability of wild plants.
-The rise in sea level due to the
melting of glaciers caused people in
Southeast Asia to live on less land,
resulting in the invention of
agriculture.
5 Society became complex
- People developed complex
societies.
-Due to division of labor and the
need to have accumulable wealth,
some are forced into farming.
-Before the Agriculture Revolution,
people who are dependent on trade or
on the storage and processing of wild
grass seeds began to live in permanent
communities.
-The concentration of population strains
the food supply despite available
resources.
-Hence, domestication of plants and
animals increased.

-Farming is seasonal.
- When hunting season is over,
people plant crops instead.
-Crops are usually harvested after
the gathering season and before
the hunting season.
