	One element produced in agriculture is phosphorus, and when it enters water streams, it inhibits algal growth. Algae can sometimes be beneficial, but it's requestors a lot of oxygen and can create dead zones and produce harmful algae such as cyanobacteria.

	Before agriculture, humans were hunter-gatherers who traveled nomadically. Roughly 10,000 years ago, humans learned how to domesticate animals and cultivate plants in a single area. ~~They found they could~~ have a more stable and consistent food supply, increasing survival rate and population size.		Before agriculture, humans were hunter-gatherers who traveled nomadically. Roughly 10,000 years ago, humans learned how to domesticate animals and cultivate plants in a single area. This allowed humans to have a more stable and consistent food supply, increasing survival rate and population size.

	The first known agricultural settlement is in what is known as Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. This area was nutrient-rich and fertile [[soil]], called the Fertile Crescent. In the 1700s and 1800s, there were massive developments in technology in agriculture which could increase productivity and efficiency. Some of these technologies included plows. New practices were also adopted that improved the quality of the crop, such as crop rotation and hybridization of plants. Later, they did the same with livestock by breeding them to grow bigger and faster.		The first known agricultural settlement is in what is known as Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

	Selective breeding of livestock is when you take animals with specific traits and breed them to increase and improve those traits. For example, animals can be produced to be larger, meatier, disease resistant, etc.		Selective breeding of livestock is when you take animals with specific traits and breed them to increase and improve those traits.

	'''Pesticides'''		'''Pesticides'''

			Pesticides are intended to kill [[insects]] of certain crops, but there is a domino effect when a pesticide application is used. Nontarget species can be affected, such as pollinators. Human health can be impacted. This can also make past resistance more catastrophic when the pause of the side doesn't work.
