  Food came from nature initially, and over time, humans learned to cultivate and produce it in different ways. Around 10,000 years ago (I think that is our rough estimate), people started cultivating crops like wheat, barley, and rice. They also domesticated animals like cows, pigs, and chickens for meat and other products.
