Increase in population.
A surplus of food lets more people be fed (lower mortality, higher birth rates) and supports permanent settlements and occupational specialization—factors that drive population growth. (As a side note, early agriculture often meant harder work and less leisure than foraging, but that’s a separate consequence.)
