The Spread of Farming

Modern genetic techniques suggest that agriculture was largely spread by the slow migration of farmers themselves. It also seems clear that in some times and places, such as in northern South Asia, it was spread by the passing on of agricultural techniques to hunter-gatherers.

Answer:

It is most likely that the modern way of farming started with the Egyptians who had baths and water systems such as irrigation. From there as the Greeks and Romans learned traveling around the world, especially the Romans, the knowledge of farming spread. There were still things to learn from other cultures such as the Native Americans.
