Answer 2

In a really small nutshell, agriculture initially brought self-sustainability (is that a word?) and healthy variety to communities, then trade and commerce. No more just eating the elderberries growing wild around the place!

It also brought about salination and erosion of the land due to lack of knowledge. Enter crop rotation and multicropping.

The fact that you are completely reliant on nature's whims is also a HUGE disadvantage. Enter hi-tech climate control systems and hydroponic farms.

The long hours and low income of some agricultural activities isn't a disadvantage of AGRICULTURE, it's a disadvantage of having a highly-competitive market.
