what will happen if all the people in society starts farming
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:The world did exist without farming, so we don't have to imagine.
We have been hunter gatherers for the majority of human existence. We relied on hunting and foraging, and likely, a little bit of farming seeped in long before we completely moved to farming.
Surprisingly, humans worked lesser hours, and had longer life expectancy, as hunter gatherers, than as new farmers. We had almost no plagues and famines. The communicable diseases were far less.
Civilizations, as we understand today, did not exist, rather, we lived in groups of a few families.
We had language, and were able to communicate with each other, even though writing did not exist as of yet. Our toolmaking abilities were also present, and enabled us to make better tools to assist in hunting and foraging.
The major difference was in numbers. The whole lot of us occupying the world today is possible only due to agriculture. A land could only sustain so many foragers before running out of resources. But farming allowed us to exploit natural capacities. And soon, there was more food than we could consume, so we started having more children, and the cycle continued. In fact, even though our lives got decidedly worse when we switched to agriculture, we kept on going ahead, because we could not go back, since the land could not sustain the current population without farming.
We developed permanent settlements, which we could not do earlier, since we were moving to greener forests with more resources. These grew into smaller and then alrger civilizations. It also allowed us to diversify work. Every forager needs to forage, but a farmer can produce food for a lot more people, allowing others to do other things, and thus labour diversified. Specialization in certain areas meant things became better faster. And look and behold, how far we've come.
But if we gave up on farming today, majority of us would starve to death. I'm assuming animal husbandry would still exist, so there is still little hope, but every little. Our civilizations will collapse, and it's benefits with it. On the plus side, the few that survive might be working less. Happy hunting to them. They'll need it.
