Best Answer

In the case of ancient peoples living in agricultural settlements, food surpluses were part of the reason these settlements grew into larger civilizations. A food surplus of a product another settlement lacked became barter material in exchange for other food products the first settlement lacked. Food for gold and silver was another result of selling off a food surplus to nations that needed the food and had gold to spend. Expansion of settlements led to trade and better means of transportation in order to trade a food surplus such as corn for example.
