What describes a direct result of division of labor in early farming communities?

A direct result of the division of labor in early farming communities was increased efficiency in agricultural production. As individuals specialized in specific tasks—such as planting, harvesting, or tool-making—communities could produce more food and goods than if everyone performed the same tasks. This specialization not only led to surplus agricultural output but also facilitated trade and the development of more complex societal structures. Ultimately, it contributed to the growth of population and the establishment of permanent settlements.
