What effect did food surpluses have on people living in settlements? In the case of ancient peoples living in agricultural
settlements, food surpluses were part of the reason these
settlements grew into larger civilizations. A food surplus of a
product another settlement lacked became barter material in
exchange for other food products the first settlement lacked. Food
for gold and silver was another result of selling off a food
surplus to nations that needed the food and had gold to spend. Expansion of settlements led to trade and better means of
transportation in order to trade a food surplus such as corn for
