The introduction of plant and animal agriculture represents one of
the most important milestones in human evolution. It contributed to
the development of cities, alphabets, new technologies, and
ultimately to civilizations, but it has also presented a threat to
both human health and the environment. Bringing together research
from a range of fields including anthropology, archaeology,
ecology, economics, entomology, ethnobiology, genetics and
geography, this book addresses key questions relating to
agriculture. Why did agriculture develop and where did it
originate? What are the patterns of domestication for plants and
animals? How did agroecosystems originate and spread from their
locations of origin? Exploring the cultural aspects of the
development of agricultural ecosystems, the book also highlights
how these topics can be applied to our understanding of
contemporary agriculture, its long-term sustainability, the
co-existence of agriculture and the environment, and the
development of new crops and varieties.
