Agricultural Practices means the steps involved in agriculture which can be seen generally been done by farmers and gardeners. Agricultural practices such as :-
  • irrigation

Division of labor in agricultural societies made commonplace specializations rarely seen in hunter-gatherer cultures. So, too, are arts such as epic literature and monumental architecture, as well as codified legal systems. When farmers became capable of producing food beyond the needs of their-own families, others in their society were freed to devote themselves to projects other than food acquisition. Historians and anthropologists have long argued that the development of agriculture made civilization possible. The total world population probably never exceeded 15million inhabitants before the invention of agriculture.
