By cultivating crops and raising animals, the Mesopotamians were able to store a surplus of food. Thanks to food surplus, many people were no longer needed for hunting and gathering, and it only took some of the people to farm, so the rest could specialize at learning other tasks. Additionally, farming allowed the population to increase.

Mesopotamia is roughly the region now known as Iraq, one of the places where civilization first started (in the form of city states.)

What is the name of the official writing of Mesopotamia?
Cuniform It depends on what you mean by this question. There was no "official" writing in Mesopotamia. There were many civilizations at many different times, and still are. "Cuneiform" is the correct term if one is talking about the style of writing, but if one is talking about the language, then the most correct term would probably be "Akkadian." Akkadian was, for many years, the language of diplomacy used for correspondence between all the great kings of the mid- to late-Bronze Age, with the likely exception of the Mycenaean king, who appears to have employed Hittite/Neshili scribes but perhaps not Akkadian ones.
