Compare and contrast how nomadic people and farmers obtain and store food
Both have to work to obtain food. Nomadic hunters and gatherers must travel to follow the game and the seasonal plants. They cannot carry large amounts of food with them. Farmers grow more food with less work than nomadic people. They usually have a surplus of food that requires storage. They must stay in one place to guard and use these surpluses.
