How did the agricultural revolution lead to an increase in the population?(1point)

1 answer

The agricultural revolution led to an increase in population primarily by providing a more stable and reliable food supply. With the development of farming techniques and the domestication of plants and animals, communities could produce surplus food, which supported larger populations. This stability reduced the frequency of famine and improved nutrition, leading to higher birth rates and lower mortality rates. As a result, human populations began to grow significantly as people settled in agricultural societies rather than relying on hunting and gathering, which could not sustain large groups.
