There is limited evidence of grain-grinding and perhaps crop-sowing before 10,000 BC in Abu Hureyra (modern Syria), as well as in about 10,000 BC on parts of the Nile flood plain, North Africa. Slightly later (9500 BC) evidence is that some selection of seeds for sowing occurred in the Levant Region of the 'Fertile Crescent' which is a strip of land curving from the modern countries of Jordan through Turkey and into Iraq and Iran (see www.mrdowling.com
However, systemic and widespread cultivation of crops appears not to have occurred until about 8500 BC, when it suddenly became widespread in the Fertile Crescent. This may have been due to both climate and societal changes. The main crops were relatives of modern wheat (emmer, einkorn), barley, flax, pea, lentil, bitter vetch (a lentil-type crop) and chickpea. Systematic organised agriculture, including mono-cropping, irrigation and an allocated workforce does not appear to have happened in the region until about 5500 BC. Farming did not reach north-western Europe until about 4800 BC.
Spontaneous cultivation of new agricultural crops seems to have happened again and again in human history. Teosinte (the simplest maize plant) was first cultivated in the meso-Americas in about 3500BC, potatoes in South America about 5000BC, rice by 5000 BC in China.

The whole cycle of agriculture started roughly 10,000 years ago, where the recorded but unconfirmed and unverified planned sowing and harvesting of the crops in the the fields could have taken place in Fertile Crescent of Egypt, Western Asia and maybe India, that have actually been gathered in the wild outside. According to some research findings, they stated that independent development of agricultural purpose have originated from a few countries, including both part of China, New Guinea, the whole of Africa, and some part of Africa, but the time and date is unconfirmed yet. The crops that were grown during these periods ranges, from wheat, peas, barley, flax, lentils and many other different types of plants.
Around 5000 BC, the Sumerians have already developed large-scale intensive crop cultivation in the entire world, mono-cropping, the use of labor force and also organized irrigation. They have also make use of animals, like water buffalo and cows to do their work for them.
Also, during the middle Ages, three-crop rotation came to the fold and the usage of high-tech irrigation systems and dams based on hydraulics principals, thus boosting agricultural efficiency.
Now, in the modern era, crops and animals were inter-exchanged with each other for profit. The potato became to become a important livestock and staple food for Europeans, maizes for Africans. Soon, mechanized tools soon came to the fore, where tractors and cranes and the use of pesticides and herbicides, that was to increase the speed of harvesting crops and increase productivity, allowing more crop yields, but it increased the wrath of certain number of environmental companies, concerning over pollution issues, resulting into the organic movement.
