During 1000 B.C. to 500 B.C. in the Great Lake Region four major African language families practice different food producing systems.

The first two groups are Sudanian and Sog eastern Sudanian grew mainly cereal and raising live stocks. The third group is the Tale Southern Cushites; they concentrate on cattle farming and grow grains. The fourth group, the Great Lakes Bantu grew root crops, fished, raised cattle, and grains.

They learned the techniques of different ways of farming from earlier Eastern Highland Bantu speakers. They put together techniques of cattle and some grains growing through contacts of Sudanian and Southern Cushitic communities.

After 200 A.D. [|descendants] of the great lakes Bantu improved on the systems. They concentrated livestock raising inland from Lake Victoria and mixed farmers spread out through the whole Kivu River.
