Roman agriculture

Roman agriculture was a very important part of everyday life in Ancient Rome. People in Rome grew things like fruits, vegetables, and grains to feed themselves, their families, and even other people in their towns and cities. They also raised animals like cows, pigs, chickens, and goats for meat, eggs, and milk, and even some for sale as trade. They used animal-drawn carts and plows to help with the farming and farming tools like pruning hooks and sickles to harvest the crops. Roman farmers also practiced soil-enhancing techniques such as crop rotation, terracing, and the use of manure and fertilizer to help increase the fertility of the soil so that their crops would grow better. All of these things were done to make sure that Roman agriculture was successful.
