What is subsistence farming?

Subsistence agriculture is a self-sufficiency farming system in which the farmers focus on

growing enough food to feed themselves and their entire families. The output is mostly for local
requirements with little or no surplus trade.

How did the development of agriculture during Neolithic times impact people?
When people think of the Neolithic era, they often think of Stonehenge,
the iconic image of this early era. Dating to approximately 3000 B.C.E.
and set on Salisbury Plain in England, it is a structure larger and more
complex than anything built before it in Europe. Stonehenge is an
example of the cultural advances brought about by the
Neolithic revolution—the most important development in human
history. The way we live today, settled in homes, close to other people in
towns and cities, protected by laws, eating food grown on farms, and
with leisure time to learn, explore and invent is all a result of the
Neolithic revolution, which occurred approximately 11,500-5,000 years
ago. The revolution which led to our way of life was the development of
the technology needed to plant and harvest crops and to domesticate
animals.

Before the Neolithic revolution, it's likely you would have lived with your
extended family as a nomad, never staying anywhere for more than a few
months, always living in temporary shelters, always searching for food
and never owning anything you couldn’t easily pack in a pocket or a sack.
The change to the Neolithic way of life was huge and led to many of the
pleasures (lots of food, friends and a comfortable home) that we still
enjoy today.
 Why were the river valleys of the Yellow River, the Tigris and other civilizations successful?

A river valley civilization or river culture is an agricultural nation or civilization situated beside and
drawing sustenance from a river. A "civilization" means a society with large permanent settlements
featuring urban development, social stratification, specialization of labour, centralized organization,
and written or other formal means of communication. A river gives the inhabitants a reliable source
of water for drinking and agriculture. Additional benefits include fishing, fertile soil due to annual
flooding, and ease of transportation. The first great civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia and
Egypt, all grew up in river valleys.

The four river valley civilizations were the Tigris & Euphrates Valleys, the Nile RiverValley,
