"For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more
delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred [person] than agriculture."―Marcus
Tullius Cicero, ancient Roman orator, ca. 44 BCE
"There is the place where his fruit trees are grown tall and flourish, pear trees and
pomegranate trees and the flourishing olive."―Homer, Odyssey, eighth century BCE
Around 10,000 years ago, humans began settling down and growing food in one place.
This practice is called agriculture, and it made building large cities and complex
societies possible. Throughout our history, humans have developed technologies to
grow, process, and store food.
Agriculture led to further developments in civilizations. Ancient peoples developed math
techniques to count crops, created writing systems to record food stores, and invented
machines to move water and harvest their fields. Whether developing new growing
techniques or improving past technologies, ancient civilizations found creative ways to
feed their people.
From growing plants and raising animals side-by-side to building complex harvesting
machines, discover the ancient agricultural techniques that led to the many delicious
cuisines of the modern world.
