Absolutely... answer is in- agriculture
But, I would insist that we are precise, no matter that there is still many opened questions. Population which was barer of agriculture thru out Europe was particularly Slavic or if you want Proto-Slavic population. That process (dispersion of population) we can recognize and follow even when we look on differences from one Slavic language to another.
Early knowledge of agriculture was key reason for Slavic expansion from Paleolithic. That’s why Slavs were/are spread on such a vast geographical territory and that’s why they were and are so numerous.
