The history of humankind is intimately tied to the history of
agriculture: powerful societies rose, persisted and waned in
parallel with their food supply systems. Describing what crops were
grown, the constraints on their production and the foods that were
obtained, this book traces the impact of cropping and food
preparation in ten societies that were among the most powerful and
influential in history, detailing how technology varied and
developed as it related directly to agriculture and food
production. The book covers the background of agricultural
development, early agricultural societies, and the advancement of
technology from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the present. It
finishes by addressing the implications for the future of
agriculture and food supply as grain production moves towards
biofuels. A compelling text for all those interested in the history
of society and civilisations, global agriculture, and what it means
for the future, this text is also an essential reference for
students of agriculture, food technology, history and anthropology.
