1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Farming

I believe that the advantages of agriculture and farming definitely out way the disadvantages. The main advantage being complex and organized civilizations fully functioning economies, which leads to a growing population being more prosperous than a still hunting and gathering one. If everyone with their own farm can stay still and create a permanent home with neighbors, that forms communities. Plus farming creates a surplus so you also end up having economies that reward and sustain technological developments. The only disadvantages i can think of are diseased crops=whole field dead, wild animals getting your crops, and moving if needed is very hard, however the surplus kind of takes care of most of that.
