An advantage of societies built on agricultural production is that it allows for more stable and predictable food sources due to the ability to cultivate crops year-round. In contrast, societies based on pastoral production may be more vulnerable to fluctuations in animal populations and access to grazing land, leading to potential food shortages.
Agricultural, pastoral, and foraging societies all had one goal in common: find food. Though, they went about these different ways.Agricultural, or agrarian societies are based on large-scale agricultural production made possible by plows pulled by animals. Agrarian societies are far more efficient than earlier societies and typically have a huge food surplus. This supports a complex division of labor which leads to the accumulation of great wealth by the few and considerable inequality.Pastoral societies are societies in which animals are domesticated and raised for food in pastures. Pastoral societies tended to develop in arid regions where there was insufficient rainfall to raise crops on the land. They were usually nomadic, moving on to a new area after the animals had exhausted the food supply in each pasture.Foraging societies, or commonly known as Hunter-Gatherers, generally have a passive dependence on what the environment contains. Because of this, the length of time that they stay in any one location is largely determined by the availability of food and water that is readily obtainable. They do not plant crops and the only domesticated animals that they usually have are dogs.
Farming societies rely primarily on agriculture for their livelihood, cultivating crops and domesticating animals. In contrast, pastoral societies depend largely on herding animals for sustenance, moving them to different grazing areas. Farming tends to be more sedentary, while pastoralism involves more nomadic lifestyles.

The five stages of society proposed by sociologist Gerhard Lenski are: hunting and gathering societies, horticultural and pastoral societies, agrarian societies, industrial societies, and post-industrial societies. These stages represent the progression of human societies in terms of technological advancements and social organization.
Pastoral nomads are groups of people who travel with their livestock in search of grazing land. They often interacted with settled populations through trade, warfare, and cultural exchange. Their movements could both benefit settled people by providing goods and services, and disrupt them through conflict or competition for resources.

Pastoral societies often traded animal products, like meat and hides, with their agricultural neighbors in exchange for crops and other goods. They also engaged in raiding and occasional conflicts over resources and grazing lands. Additionally, they sometimes formed alliances and intermarried with agricultural communities for mutual benefit and security.

In decentralized pastoral or forest farming societies, women often had more autonomy and decision-making power over household and agricultural activities. They typically played a more active role in managing resources and had greater ownership of land and livestock compared to women in more centralized agricultural societies. Additionally, women in these societies often had stronger social networks and support systems within their communities.

Agriculture is a much broader context of the production and raising of plants and animals for food. Pastoral production (a more specific form of agriculture, and is encapsulated by agriculture and the agricultural industry) involves raising animals on pasture or range for food (meat and milk) and fibre production.
