Farming was thought to have been the invention of women. Women were traditionally responsible for gathering food while the men hunted. Women also had to care for children at the same time. Farming made the 'gathering' of food easier as the women could now gather food from a plot of land where they planted their own seeds and not worry about having to care for small children during the gathering of food.
