TIMELINE
The birth ofagriculture
marked the end of man's
nomadic lifestyle as he
began to cultivate his
food.
Neolithic Revolution
Beginning of agriculture
in the Fertile Crescent
(present-day Middle
East).
Domestication of plants
and animals.
In the 18th century, large-scale
farming of coffee, tobacco, and
cotton expanded, leading to
global agricultural trade and
regional crop specialization.
John Deere, a blacksmith born in Vermont,
introduced the first steel plow in 1837. This tool
made it possible to till harder and more complex
soils, facilitating agriculture in the Midwest of North
America. The improvement in agricultural tools
marked a turning point in the history of agronomy,
boosting agricultural production.
In 1492, Christopher
Columbus brought sugarcane
to America, transforming
agriculture and the economy
by creating new trade
opportunities and reshaping
landscapes in the Caribbean
and South America.
