Description:Maize is the world’s most productive food and industrial crop—grown in more than 160 countries and on every continent except Antarctica. If by some catastrophe maize were to disappear from our food supply chain, vast numbers of people would starve and global economies would rapidly collapse.

From maize’s first appearance and domestication in ancient campsites and settlements in Mexico to its intercontinental journey throughout most of North and South America, this history is also the story of the artistic creativity, technological prowess, and social, political, and economic resilience of America’s first peoples.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
