The Sustainability of Agriculture Production and Urbanisation (c. 7000BCE-1700BCE)

Food is indispensable for man's survival. Agriculture ensures a steady production and supply of food. Food is not the only thing ensured by agriculture though. Food surplus also played a major role in urbanisation. Rural centres gave way to urban cities because of surplus food production. The rise of farming communities like that of Neolithic Mehrgarh led to the beginning of settlements and man soon realised the importance of crop sustainability.
