Agricultural, pastoral, and foraging societies all had one goal in common: find food. Though, they went about these different ways. Agricultural, or agrarian societies are based on large-scale agricultural production made possible by plows pulled by animals. Agrarian societies are far more efficient than earlier societies and typically have a huge food surplus. This supports a complex division of labor which leads to the accumulation of great wealth by the few and considerable inequality. Pastoral societies are societies in which animals are domesticated and raised for food in pastures. Pastoral societies tended to develop in arid regions where there was insufficient rainfall to raise crops on the land. They were usually nomadic, moving on to a new area after the animals had exhausted the food supply in each pasture. Foraging societies, or commonly known as Hunter-Gatherers, generally have a passive dependence on what the environment contains. Because of this, the length of time that they stay in any one location is largely determined by the availability of food and water that is readily obtainable. They do not plant crops and the only domesticated animals that they usually have are dogs.

hunting and gathering societies and pastoral societies.
In a pastoral society, people are nomadic and move domestic herd animals from one pasture to another. In a horticultural society, people grow fruits and vegetables in garden plots as their primary source of food.

The five stages of society proposed by sociologist Gerhard Lenski are: hunting and gathering societies, horticultural and pastoral societies, agrarian societies, industrial societies, and post-industrial societies. These stages represent the progression of human societies in terms of technological advancements and social organization.
Horticultural and Pastoral
There are many kinds of societies. Some of those are hunting and gathering societies, pastoral societies, horticultural societies, agricultural societies, feudal societies, industrial societies and post industrial societies.
Hunting and gathering societies
•There is very little technological development. All economic activity is carried out using human labor and animal power. •There are four types of preindustrial societies - hunting and gathering, pastoral, horticultural, and agricultural.
