The wild antecedent of oat, normally named as oats, grew within the geographic area of the Mideast. Domesticated oats appeared comparatively late within the Bronze Age Europe. Greeks and Romans thought of oats to be unhealthy wheat, and lots of cultures believed them to be higher suited to animals Oats derived from a weed of the first cereal domesticates wheat and barley. As these cereals unfold westward into cooler, wetter areas, this could have favored the oat weed part, resulting in its ultimate domestication.
According to Healthy Oats Food Magazine, “Oats is a cereal plant cultivated primarily in cool climate and widely used for animal feed additionally as human consumption. Healthful functions involves a use of oat, that shield against cancers and cardiovascular disease, enhance reaction to infection, stabilize glucose, and etc.”
Oats are around for quite a while, qualitative analysis back to around 2,000 B.C. within the Middle East. Oats originated in Western Europe and therefore the Mediterranean, so were unfold to northern Europe and to the remainder of the globe. Early oat introductions into North America were from United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Russia (including Finland) and European nation. Similar diversity was evident within the seeds introduced into Argentine Republic and Australasia. In Scotland, Ireland and nineteenth century Ethiopia, barley and oats were planted as a mixed crop and, as a result of they aged inconsistently, harvest inevitably made a lot of wasted grain. Oats originate in Germany to 1,000 B.C. and since oats contain very little protein, they were thought of not sensible for rather more than animal feed. However, as a result of oats are able to grow in conditions wherever wheat and barley will no...

In the first chapter of the book the author discusses a brief world history and evolution of rice crops. It is interesting to see that even though parts of Africa had their own rice crop variety, the globalization of rice crop Oryza Sativa has been slowly replacing the African variety.

c. 8000 B.C.E. was the beginnings of agriculture also known as the Neolithic or Agricultural Revolution. Agricultural Revolution transformed human life across the planet. This event demonstrates KC 1.2: I.A because this led to cultivation of plants and domestication of animals that caused creating abundant amount of food supplies. It illustrates the interaction between human and environment, development of technology, settling patterns, and how natural resources gave some lands advantages over others. Agriculture developed independently at different times in different regions. Historians believe that the Agricultural Revolution might have originated from Middle East (ME), although they are not fully sure.
The oldest findings we have for seeds in Greece are dated between 11,000 BC and 7300 BC and show us the usage of wild plants such as barley , oats , lentils and peas and also of wild animals such as goats , cattle , hares etc.

When colonist came to the Americas, corn was quickly adopted as a new grain. With England across the ocean, there was no easy way to acquire food. The ability to grow ones’ own crop dictated the death or survival of a colony. Corn was easy to grow and provided a good source of carbohydrates. Corn so...
Before the land of what we no class Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, and other countries in the middle east grains, such as wheat and wild barley, could be seen growing in the wild without human hand to cultivate and nurture it (Authors 2007). Over time, humans began to recognize the benefit of the plants and began the first signs of human agriculture. The skill of farming took time and trial and error, but along the way, humans began to settle down to tend to their crops. Though the first crops were nothing more than seed s thrown about without rhyme or reason to the process we know today such as fields having, rows and sorting out the seeds to create a higher yield each harvest (Authors 2007). Because of the trial and error process, agriculture of plants did not take place of a short period but took many, many years to evolve to what we know today as agriculture; the new fa...

The story of maize domestication is not only an interesting topic to us today, but an impressive realization on how hard it was for people living thousands of years ago to find food for themselves. The people living in modern day Mexico eight thousand, seven hundred years ago found a crop that was not much more than a stick with small pods that could be pried off for a small reward of nutrients. However, with that plant they created one of the most useful foods today because of thousands of years of artificial breeding and domestication. Maize is an extremely useful crop that is easy to grow, and gives giant harvests thanks to the experimentation and instinct of our ancestors, and the act of artificial selection over the passage of time.
As early as the Stone Age, Neolithic hunter-gatherer tribal groups foraged throughout what would become Italy for wild grains, among them wheat varieties such as emmer and einkorn, as well as barley. Commonly first soaked or boiled, these grains were mashed into pastes and cooked on hot stones over open fires.

Agriculture has been around for about 11,000 years. Around 9.500 BC, the first signs of crops began to show up around the coastlines of the Mediterranean. Emmer and einkorn wheat were the first crops that started to show up in this area, with barley, peas, lentils, chick peas, and flax following shortly. For the most part, everyone was a nomad and just travelled along with where a herd went. This went on until around 7.000 BC, and then the first signs of sowing and harvesting appeared in Mesopotamia. In the first ...

The first people that started to depend on farming for food were in Israel and Jordan in about 80000 B.C.. Farming became popular because people no longer had to rely on just searching for food to get their food. In about 3000 B.C. Countries such as Egypt and Mesopotamia started to develop large scale irrigation systems and oxen drawn plows. In about 500 B.C. the Romans started to realize that the soil needed certain nutrients in order to bare plants. They also realized that if they left the soil for a year with no plants, these important nutrients would replenish. So they started to leave half of a field fallow (unplanted). They then discovered that they could use legumes, or pulses to restore these vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, to the soil and this started the process known as rotating crops. They would plant half the field one year with a legume...
