Answer:

Farmers and herders can derive a surplus of animals and plants with desireable traits. (ex: larger crops, bigger animals, sweeter fruits etc.)

Step-by-step explanation:

By selectively breeding animals (breeding those with desirable traits), farmers increased the size and productivity of their livestock. Same thing goes for plants. Farmers can selectively breed them so they can become more favorable for their consumers.

Hope that helps!
