How are settlements affected by the rise of agriculture?

It all depends on what settlements and the type of agriculture.

Settlements in the south thrived on tobacco, while when europeans first came here they had no idea how to grow foods. It was a great struggle to first grow food with little skill and eventually they became self sufficient. agriculture helps to make settlements thrive and be able to take care of themselves. Food for them is also a way of trading.
