Neolithic / Agricultural Revolution
Neolithic / Agricultural Revolution
Shift from food-gathering to food-producing.
Causes: Change in climate (warmer = longer growing season), and population growth (forced hunter-gathers to seek out new food sources)
Farming provides a steady source of food.

Early Farming MethodEarly Farming Method
Slash-and-burn farming - cut trees or grasses and burned them to clear a field.
The ashes would fertilize the soil. Farmers planted crops for a year or two and
then moved on to a different area.
