plants and animals and domesticated and bred them◦Cereals◦Meat animals◦Poultry, fish, milk, cheese, nuts, oils,

fruits, vegetables etc

Where does rubber come Where does rubber come from?from?Rubber comes from a milky white juice

which some trees and plants have instead of sap.

This liquid, called latex, can be found in the roots, stems, branches, bark, leaves, and fruit of over 400 different plants.

Most latex, however, comes from the inner bark of the hevea, or rubber tree, of Brazil.

Prehistoric AgriculturePrehistoric Agriculture

Started near 10,000 BC The main agricultural sites:

◦ southeast and southwest Asia (India, Iran, Iraq, Israel)

◦Nile River in Egypt◦Europe

Page 12: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

Prehistoric AgriculturePrehistoric Agriculture

This was the age of agricultural innovations as many new tools and practices were invented due to compulsion of planting, sustaining and harvesting the crops.

Use of wooden and earthen tools Domestication of animals

DomesticationDomestication

Dates of domestication vary by regions

Earliest may be ~ 10,000 BC

Page 17: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

DomesticationDomesticationa primitive form of genetic

engineering in which certain plants and animals are brought under human control, their objectionable characteristics eliminated, their favorable ones enhanced and in the case of animals, can be induced to reproduce in captivity.

PastoralismPastoralismMixed farming, combining cultivation of

crops and stock raising was a common Neolithic pattern

Nomadic herders roamed steppes of Europe and Asia where the horse and camel were domesticated

Page 21: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

Neolithic FarmersNeolithic FarmersLived in caves, sun-baked mud houses,

reed or wooden housesHouses were grouped into small villages

with surrounding fieldsGrowth of cities was stimulated by

production of surplus crops

Page 22: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

Neolithic SettlementsNeolithic SettlementsMore permanent than camps of

hunting populationsNeeded to move periodically

◦ Soils deteriorated ◦ Practiced slash & burn in Europe

Nile settlements more permanent◦ River kept soils fertile

Historical/Roman PeriodHistorical/Roman PeriodRoughly defined from

2500 BC to 500 AD

Agriculture in ancient Rome was not only a necessity, but was idealized among the elite as a way of life.

Wheat, vineyards, olives, milk, oxen, mules, sheep, goats, wide variety of vegetables & herbs

Page 24: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

Roman PeriodRoman Period

Trade in wine and olive oil mentioned in Egyptian records

Rye & oats in N. EuropeDates/figs important source of

sugar in Near EastCotton spun in India Linen & silk in China

Roman PeriodRoman Period

Metal tools longer lasting & more efficient◦Ox-drawn plow (iron tipped)◦Horses for work

Page 26: Evolution of Agriculture. Agriculture Defined The art, science, and business of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use

Roman PeriodRoman Period

Irrigation in China, Egypt, & Near East◦ Allowed more land to be cultivated

Introduction of fertilizers◦ Animal manures◦ Crop rotations

Feudal AgricultureFeudal AgricultureThe feudal age of

agriculture ranges from 500 BC to 1700 AD, reaching its height near 1000 AD

The usual practice of this age was of intensive agricultural throughout Europe, middle east and southeastern Asia.

Feudal AgricultureFeudal AgricultureIrrigation extended in Egypt & SpainGrain production was sufficient in

Egypt to sell wheat internationallyIrrigation from mountain streams

increased vineyards in SpainSpain - silkworm was raised

Feudal AgricultureFeudal AgricultureManorial system

◦900 to 2000 acres◦Self-contained community◦Large home for the lord◦One or more villages as part of the manor◦Peasants were the actual farmers Raised crops and livestock and paid taxes

to the lord◦Large mill for grinding grain & vegetable

gardens

according to season & hunting ability◦Hunting done by the lord◦Castle residents ate meat from poultry,

cattle and etc produced by peasant farmers

Scientific AgricultureScientific AgricultureBy 16th century populations were

growing

This led to exploration of new methods and practices in agriculture.

It also resulted in commercial agriculture that was based solely on profit than subsistence purposes.

Agriculture trade assumed global proportions and many new economies thrived on specialized production of one or other agricultural products.

◦Produce cash crops & feed home country◦Cultivation of sugar, cotton, tobacco, tea,

animals for wool and hide etc◦From 15th to 19th centuries slaves were used◦Slaves worked in Caribbean on sugar

plantations & in N America

Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment in Europe◦Plant breeding◦Breeding cattle & sheep◦Crop rotations◦Drainage brought more land into cultivation

animal power in drawing plows and operating threshing machinery

Science and technology developed for industrial purposes in agriculture

◦ Resulting in agribusinesses of the mid-20th century

Poisons for pests developed in 19th century

Improvements in transportation (19 & 20th)

Modern inventionsModern inventions

The modern inventions in biotechnology and genetics that have completely changed agriculture production.

New variants of seeds and plants are manufactured in laboratories and genetically modified to suit consumption and commercial needs.

This has enabled the world to meet the food demands of for a population that is crossing 7 billion mark.
