1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Farming

I don't think the advantages of agriculture and farming over weigh the disadvantages. In my opinion farming is a better way to get food than hunting and gathering. Farming is a reliable way to know that you will get food, while hunting and gathering is very unreliable, for example one day you might get lucky and find a lot of vegetation and meat, but other days there may be none. For farming you don't have to look for food, you just have to go and pick the food. The only disadvantages that I can think of that farming has is it is very expensive to start and hard to maintain, but even with that I think it is much better than going out and hunting and gathering. Now that people have technology such as tractors and plows to run their farms it makes them much easier to run and now we have no need for hunting and gathering.
