Agriculture has been a determining factor in social and economic activities throughout history. To support this statement, we are going to tell you why. But first we have to go back a long way in time...
Around 12,000 years ago, during the Neolithic period, agriculture emerged as a momentous milestone . Humanity took a radical turn, moving from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to sedentary agricultural communities.
Agriculture was the key factor that changed the way we obtain food and also changed our social, economic and political structure.
Since that time, the land became an invaluable resource and, in turn, provided a constant source of food. This has allowed humanity to learn about the art of cultivating and caring for the land.
In this timeline you can see how agriculture has evolved since its beginning, through the development of civilizations and agrarian feudalism . After the Middle Ages and moving forward considerably in time, a series of technological advances arrived that revolutionized the way of producing.
Looking at the more recent past, we can see how these technological advances contributed to achieving greater productivity... But in the end, in our days, it is like going back to the beginning because the need to grow our food sustainably arises again.
Agriculture today
Today, agriculture is a globalized and highly technological industry. In the 20th century, the so-called Green Revolution introduced intensive practices that, although they increased production , also triggered a series of environmental challenges.
Agricultural industrialization, in its quest for efficiency and maximizing yields, has prioritized large-scale production. This has led to production without respecting the natural cycle of the earth and sowing on land unsuitable for crops.
These practices are unsustainable because they deplete natural resources, create a disconnection with nature and affect the quality of the products . That is why at Campos del Abuelo we practice agriculture in which ancestral knowledge is rescued and ecological principles are followed.
