Agricultural areas are extensions of land suitable for agriculture, this geographical area being of great importance for those who reside there, since it is the main geographical activity of the area, it is also easy to identify them, since they have excellent weather conditions. The relationships of those who live in these localities, whether internal or external, are based on said activity. It should be noted that the word agriculture comes from the culture of cultivating, named for those who cultivated the land centuries ago, this being one of the most important subsistence activities of humanity.
The agricultural areas have a date in ancient Egypt, since it is there that it is known that the first crops began but years later the studies showed that agriculture had a great boom in the north and south of China, since its inhabitants sow what became known as the eight crops that were made up of wheat, barley, peas, yeros, chickpeas and flax.
But not only the Chinese were pioneers, also the Sumerians, who were the ones who developed the main agricultural techniques, including intensive cultivation on a large scale, irrigation techniques and the use of specialized labor.
The evolution of agriculture was given by the areas where this activity was practiced, for example in the Middle Ages on the European continent, important innovations were made within the agricultural field, with feudal production being what increased production. The use of the wheeled plow carried by large animals made farming much easier in the most difficult areas, while in other parts of the continent they continued to use the hand plow.
Years passed and agriculture evolved until the time we know today, where the tractor appeared, a fundamental instrument for harvesting and threshing quickly and easily. Studies reveal that in past centuries a farmer was needed to feed five people, while today with advances in technology a farmer can feed one hundred and thirty people.
Other modern techniques have contributed to the development of agriculture, such as packaging, processing and marketing, food processing, such as quick freezing and dehydration have opened new horizons for the commercialization of products and increased potential markets.
