once upon a time...

 I got this story from my plant science class...                               

                              A long time ago 
• For about 4 million years early man a hunter gatherer.
• Agriculture a relatively recent innovation/ and developed about 10,000 years ago in several places. - This corresponds with the end of the last ice age and a change in global climate.
• Valvilov a Russian geneticist hypothesized that there were a limited number of places in the
world in which crops originated.
• Generally these places are in tropical, or subtropical regions, at a middle elevation, in areas of varied topographies.
• In many of these places a diet consisting of a cereal grain and a legume emerged.


  Farm Like an Egyptian
• The Egyptians developed technologies for drainage, irrigation, land preparation, and food storage about 5,500 years ago.
• 4,000 years ago Greeks began to classify plants – early botanists
• 2,500 to 1,500 years ago the Romans developed efficient agricultural systems that were the cornerstone of their strength








Saved by the Monks
• Much of Roman technology and knowledge were lost to most Europeans until the Renaissance.Monks in monasteries kept this knowledge alive

cereal..did you know?

I love to eat cereal for my breakfast. It was very delicious..
I believe most of you love to eat cereal too but did you know that cereal is made out of cereal?

Cereal is usually used to describe our breakfast, however, the word cereal also means rice, wheat, maize and oats.


rice

maize

oats

wheat

In case you were wondering if corn was a cereal too, the answer is a definitely yes. But, corn is just a word used to mean the most common cereal in an area or country.
For example, in Australia an Europe, corn means wheat.
The actual name for our corn is maize.

Eat more cereal!!
