as been in existence for a very longtime precisely from the beginning. The basics, and concept behind AGRICULTURE; is farming (Production of FOOD): The simple practice of Domesticating the fauna and flora, subjecting the animals under human control, care and supervision .It involves putting into consideration some basic factors like
CLIMATE CHANGE,
ADAPTATION,
SURVIVAL,
NUTRITION,
REPRODUCTION,
and most especially a conducive environment. It also gives more concentration to Planting of crops which varies from Breeds to species, Family and class (I wouldn’t want to go deep into this as I want to make this friendly and a lay-man language), farming as been the major primary practice in Agriculture and this as developed into a comprehensive and elaborate activity of human race up to date.

As they continue their journey and daily routine of hunting animals, getting edible fruits in the wild; they realize the Seeds of the fruit they ate longtime ago as developed into growing plants, shrubs and now developing just like the parent plants. Also whenever they hunt animals, often they kill the matured and keep the young ones with them in so doing they try to tame and develop the new young themselves as a result of this, the concept of Domestication set in. After a prolong time of observing this they tend to start cultivating lands and keeping animals, the advantage derived form this practice is that they find it easier to get food available around them rather than hunting as they use to do before.
Many years later farming as gain a good ground and as most wild Animals of those days are now getting used to been domesticated by man. Planting of crops and rearing of animal became the sole activity in
