The first farmers are generally believed to have appeared in the Middle East, specifically in the region often referred to as the "Fertile Crescent." This area includes parts of modern-day countries such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. The development of agriculture in this region marked a significant transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled farming communities around 10,000 years ago.
