In ancient civilizations there was few ways to get food. One way was that you hunted for it. Another way was that you gather food from the plants around you. People than realized that you could farm plants. Than after that they realized you could farm animals. Farming was much more productive than hunting and gathering and people realized that.
Once people realized they could farm, life was a lot more productive and less tiring. Before people could farm they had to hunt animals and follow them wherever they went. They would also have to make a temporary shelter so they could move from place to place. All of that moving took a lot of energy out of you and farming doesn't. People first figured out that you could farm plants. They realized that you could take the seeds from the plants, plow the ground, throw the seeds on the plowed ground, then water them and keep repeating that process so you would have an endless supply of food for your people. People also had realized you could then start farming animals too. They realized you could breed them so you could have more meat to feed people. They realized they could use their poop to fertilize their crops. Farming also allowed the people to make a permanent home. Farming also allowed them to produce more of a food surplus, which means that more people can focus on other things other than farming or hunting animals. This meant that people could start inventing things to.
Once people discovered farming, they were able to develop advanced civilizations. People could make homes to live in because of farming and people could also start developing advanced weapons. Farming was much more productive than hunting and gathering too which is another reason why it is better. Once people started farming, they were moving in the next era of the human civilization. An era of developing weapons, advanced technology and architecture, and an era of focusing on developing nations.
