The man does less manual work and still gets better results by using machines and better quality seeds which are part of the agricultural revolution.Man earn much more money and remains comfortable while doing the same job which was not like that before the revolution.

agricultural revolution
The Seed of Civilization
When was the most important event in the history of mankind?
The answer is fuzzy, but for simplicity's sake, we can place it about 10,000 years ago. That was when humanity gave up its 2 million long history of roaming from place to place, hunting and gathering, and settled down to daily toil and daily bread. Naturally, I'm speaking about the agricultural revolution, and the amazing discovery of the seed.
People must have chewed nuts and grains for a while before they realised that if they put these into the earth, a new plant would spring from it. The discovery of that miracle must have been pretty startling in itself, but an even greater event was the impact it made on humanity. Pretty much everything in our society can be traced back (with some imagination) to the discovery of agriculture. Beer, bread, bazookas; you name it.
The Beginning
About 12,000 years ago, when the last Ice Age ended, humanity had spread to all corners of Earth. The pre-agricultural tribes went from camp to camp, depending on season. Many of them had begun to control the seeds, by deciding where they should grow, and later harvest them. However, since they didn't stay put in one place, there was a limit to how much work they could do. Slowly, things changed. Some people stopped shifting dwellings, instead they stayed in one place all year. We don't know why they did this - maybe the Earth had become overpopulated, and there just wasn't enough room for everyone to keep shifting home. Maybe climatic changes led to less food for them to hunt and gather. Or perhaps they just fancied a change.

if v talk abt agricultural revolution in india i.e. green revolution, i believe though green rev made us as an economy self sufficient in food grains but i strongly believe that the benefits of green rev were for rich farmers only.poor farmers cud not derive much advantage of this revolution.take the example of punjab and bihar. where on one hand punjab flourished with the revolution, bihar remained poor despite of the fact that bihar is richer in terms of resources...i mean this state has better, more fertile land as compared to punjab and westrn UP.
so basically where green rev made us grow us as an economy, it also added to the personal disparities as rich farmers were made richer and poor remained poor.i guess somewhere our plans and their proper implementation lacked..
if u really want proper knowledge on the subject,consult some book for statistics and exact data.u can consult this one:

the way of life changed from nomadic to sedentary. As opposed to needing to hunt and gather, one could plant seeds and grow what would be gathered for himself. Same thing with animals...
