Where Did Our Methods of Agriculture Begin?

Mankind continues to populate the planet and yet has built huge civilizations which are not sustainable. Humans have built over some of the most fertile land in all the world with giant cities of concrete and roads. Much of mankind's strength is the ability to plan ahead and to plant crops and as the ancient days turned to agricultural work and became common, so too did man's ability to grow in strength. Where did our methods of agriculture began?

According to the Tablets of Nippur there was talk of the origin of the city and city life along with the introduction of agriculture although Eastern Culture also talks of agriculture prior to this. Perhaps we should think on these things and understand that we should not over populate our abilities to feed the world using our current agricultural techniques.

Many people believe that although 2 billion people are living in such utter poverty that they can barely eat and have the potential of dying from starvation that there is no food shortage at all, only a problem with the distribution of food. As one area has a flood or a drought another area has many consecutive excellent growing seasons. Thus, with proper and balanced trade we should be able to feed the world even under such challenges.

It's time for mankind to join in a common cause and stop having wars so we can continue to get the trade flows going to serve mankind.
