Innovative agricultural techniques as well as widespread availability of better farming tools led to increassingly better crop yields and population growth. Farm land became increassingly scarcer, and political pressure led city states to fund and command colonization enterprises with the objective of supply their need for extra resourses, alliviating the overcrowding problem many cities faced at the time.
