Some advantages of farming and herding over hunting and gathering as a way of life are that farming and herding are controlled. These methods of getting food are more dependable than hunting and gathering.

Also, farming and herding are more stable; people had a better food supply, and a more stable way of life. As a consequence, they had more leisure time which in time led to cultural development.
