The history of agriculture can be traced back to the Neolithic period in Anatolia, which began around 7000 BC. This period marks the transition of human communities from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a settled existence and the initial stages of agricultural practices, laying the foundation for the formation of societies. The advent of agriculture marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of human civilization. It enabled the formation of productive communities and the shaping of the environment in accordance with human needs.
