Explanation:

Crop rotation first appeared in the ancient world, in Rome. This system, which followed the motto: "food, feed, fallow" was also adopted by Europeans later on, and it was done so that farmers would be able to use the available fertile land to grow different food crops, depending on the year, and the season.
