The challenge faced by settlement societies but not by hunter-gatherer societies is:
**Increased agriculture led to a greater reliance on fewer sources of food.**
Settlement societies, through agriculture, often concentrated on specific crops and domesticated animals, leading to a less diverse diet and increased vulnerability to crop failure and disease. In contrast, hunter-gatherer societies typically had a more varied diet, relying on a broader range of wild foods, which reduced their dependence on any single food source.
