DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES THROUGH THE AGES
The early man gathered wild fruits, nuts, roots and leaves for food as well as trapping fishes and wild animals. Caves, hollows and trees served as his shelter while his clothing were mainly leaves and skins. With time, he developed skills and instruments for his hunting expedition. He used pointed sticks, sharp bones or stones but later arrows, slings and guns were invented. The forest land where he collected food was enough for him to feed. There was no shortage of food, so he did not think of ways of producing food. However as people increased, food gathering was no longer enough for them.
Development of Agriculture in Nigeria
The Agricultural methods of Egyptian farmers combined with the older traditional farming practices of West Africa have produced the basis of Nigerian Agriculture today.
In he last 300 years, crops from other parts of the world have been brought of West-Africa by traders. Bananas and plantains were originally from Asia while groundnuts and cocoa came from America.
