    Agriculture began around 10,000 years ago, allowing humans to have more abundant food supplies and live longer. Between 1650-1850, the world population grew rapidly due to globalized food shipping and improved food preservation, providing more food for more people. In early 1900s U.S., industrialization and mechanization aimed to make food cheaper by reducing farmers and specializing production, while agricultural industry concentration gave corporations monopoly-like power over policies and pricing.
