Why was agriculture the worst mistake in human History?
Along with epidemic diseases, starvation, and malnutrition, farming also contributed to the creation of severe class distinctions.
Hunter-gatherers rely solely on the wild plants and animals they catch each day, with little to no food stored and no concentrated food sources, such as an orchard or a herd of cows.

Between 1700 and 1870, it is thought that both total agricultural output and output per worker increased by a factor of 2. 7 times.
Britain's agriculture is the most productive in Europe thanks to the Agricultural Revolution, with 19th-century yields up to 80% higher than the continental average.
Fertilizers can be deterimental to the environment. Excess use of fertilizers will result in eutrophication in the water body. Water body being more enriched with nutrients will result in excessive growth of aquatic plants. This also result in algal bloom in which algae grows on the surface of water body because of this atmospheric oxygen not able to reach the aquatic plants, hence results in oxygen depletion.
The solution is found by multiplying 16 times 15 times 14. The club has 16 members and after one role (president) is filled, there are 15 left to fill the next (vice). The same goes for the next role (treasurer). So 16 is multiplied with 15, then 14. This is more of a math question that biology btw.
