    People face several challenges when attempting to domesticate wild animals, including safely catching and housing the animals without harming themselves or the animals. They must also provide adequate food, shelter, and meet the animals' other needs. When keeping animals in captivity, people aim to selectively breed desirable traits and prevent disease, theft, and the stress of captivity that can inhibit breeding. Farming allows people to raise more and varied food to support larger populations, store surplus, and develop division of labor. However, storing food long-term poses issues like rotting, theft by animals or people, infestation by insects, and weather damage, requiring safe storage spaces and containers.
