Farming Advantages Disadvantages Answer

Farming creates a vast, reliable source of food for a colony settled in one area. Advantages of farming agriculture include a source of food you can rely on and control. If you rely on wild plants, the plants could disappear at any time. When you farm your own plants you can protect them and water them. Another advantage of farming is that you can feed much more people than hunter-gatherers. With farming you do not have to search every night for a new source of food. One of the disadvantages of farming is that farms are not mobile. If you are a group of people that travel around a lot, a farm will not suit you at all. Also to maintain a farm you must put lots of energy and resources into it. Some colonies prefer to hunt and gather than maintain a farm.
