History of Agricultural activities

The history of farming began a thousand years ago. Agriculture is the major development in the growth of stationary human society , creating food surpluses that empowered individuals to live in urban areas by cultivating tamed species. In the 20th century, industrial agriculture based on large scale monoculture overwhelmed rural yields, but in the twenty-first century about two billion people still relied on agriculture.

In this research, the agriculture focus that will be emphasized is the concept of agriculture in paddy fields. As is known, paddy fields will be cultivated in a very large area that consumes several acres. Paddy fields can be formed as patios and adjacent depressed or steeply slanted features, such as streams or swamps, on mountain terrain. To generate and need large quantities of water for the water system, they will need a great deal of labor and materials. Bulls and wild ox water, adapted for wetland life, are valuable working animals commonly used in the cultivation of paddy fields. 

Nowadays, most farmers owned their farmed land and some may even had more than one farm which are place in different areas and consume kilometers apart from each cultivated land.
