The Mayas started farming to ensure a stable food supply to support their growing population. Farming also allowed them to settle in one place and develop complex societies and cultures.
People developed terrace farming in various regions around the world, including Asia (such as in the Himalayas), South America (such as in the Andes Mountains), and Africa. Terrace farming involves building steps or platforms on hillsides to create flat areas for agriculture in mountainous or hilly terrain.
Farming is believed to have originated independently in different regions around the world, such as the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East, Mesoamerica, China, and Southeast Asia. The exact location of the first discovery of farming is not definitively known due to the gradual and complex development of agricultural practices over time.
Farming settlements needed surplus food production, specialization of labor, and centralized leadership in order to develop into cities during the New Stone Age. These factors allowed for population growth, cultural development, and the emergence of social hierarchies.
