The entire human [[population]] of the world was, at one time, self-sufficient. [[Families]] and groups made their own [[clothing]], [[tools]], [[weapons]], boats and [[huts]]. They used gathering, [[hunting]], herding and [[farming]] to find/hunt/grow their own food. As the population of the world grew, the [[wild]] food supply dwindled. People began to specialise, and to rely on herding and farming more; relying less upon gathering and hunting. In [[modern]] times, many farmers produce food on specialised farms. A large part of the worlds population now depends on these [[farmers]] to make their food for them. Many in developed nations now depend on job [[salaries]] to buy food, clothes, and [[shelter]], rather than making these things from raw materials found in the [[environment]]. There are still societies which continue to be self-sufficient, never having given up [[traditional]] ways of food gathering and food making. If these people have no jobs and make no salaries, then they are often listed as unemployed.
