The document describes the lives of peasants in ancient Egypt. Peasants made up the largest social class and were responsible for producing the country's food supply through farming. Their lives depended on the three seasons of the Nile River - flooding, planting, and harvest. Peasants lived in simple mud brick houses with few comforts and ate basic meals of bread, onions, and fish. They faced long workdays and risk of famine if their harvests were insufficient to pay taxes.

Peasants made up the largest social class in ancient Egypt and were responsible for producing the country's food supply through farming. They depended on the three seasons of the Nile River - flooding, planting, and harvest - to grow crops like wheat and barley. Peasants lived with few comforts in mud brick houses with mats for furniture and subsisted on meals of vegetables, fish, and bread, rarely eating meat. Failure to meet harvest quotas could result in famine and severe punishment for peasants.

Farming the Plains - ProblemsDHUMPHREYS

��

The homesteaders who settled on the Great Plains in the 1860s faced numerous challenges to successful farming. Their iron plows from the eastern U.S. broke against the thick roots of the native prairie grass. Crops like maize and wheat did not grow well in the dry, hot climate of the Plains. Lack of water for irrigation and annual rainfall of only 38cm made crop growth difficult. Other problems included trampling of crops by cattle and buffalo, fires that destroyed dry crops and grasslands, plagues of grasshoppers that consumed entire harvests, homestead plots that were too small at 160 acres to support a family, and extreme variations in temperature and storms.

History of farmingMs Wilson

��

Farming originated around 10,000 BC in an area known as the Fertile Crescent. People in this region began deliberately planting seeds from local grasses and grains that they gathered, such as barley and wheat, aided by favorable climate conditions. One of the earliest farming settlements was Catalhoyuk in present-day Turkey. Farming then spread to other parts of the world and involved domesticating animals like goats, sheep and pigs to provide food, fiber and labor. Over time, humans cultivated a wider variety of crops and domesticated additional animals, advancing early agriculture.

The Agricultural Revolution transformed farming from a labor-intensive practice with small land holdings and poor yields to a more efficient, productive system. It involved consolidating small farms into larger enclosed plots, improving equipment through machines, and adopting better techniques like crop rotation and selective breeding to increase output. These changes allowed far fewer farmers to produce much more food, supporting growing urban populations and freeing up workers for industry.

Prehistoric architecture refers to the structures and buildings created by humans during the prehistoric period, which spanned from the emergence of early humans to the development of written records. Prehistoric architecture made use of natural materials such as stone, wood, and earth. Examples of Prehistoric Architecture Megalithic Temples (Malta, 3600-2500 BCE) These temples are some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world. They feature intricate stone carvings and alignments with celestial bodies. Stonehenge (England, 3000-1500 BCE) This iconic monument is a circular arrangement of massive stones. Its purpose remains debated, but it's believed to have been used for ceremonial or astronomical purposes. Çatalhöyük (Turkey, 7500-5700 BCE) This ancient city features densely packed mud-brick houses with unique wall paintings and sculptures. It's considered one of the oldest human settlements in the world. Broch of Gurness (Scotland, 100-1000 CE) This Iron Age tower is an example of the brochs found in Scotland. It features a unique narrow entrance and spiral staircase. Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings (USA, 550-1300 CE) These cliff dwellings were built by the Ancestral Pueblo people. They feature intricate stonework and stunning natural surroundings

Domestication of plantsMariana Guzmán

��

Corn was domesticated between 6,000-10,000 years ago from its wild ancestor, teosinte. Teosinte had hard shells enclosing its seeds and grew on spikes that shattered to disperse seeds, while domesticated corn develops hundreds of exposed kernels on cobs covered by husks. Archaeological and genetic evidence indicates corn was domesticated in southern Mexico. Other key domesticated grain crops discussed include rice, which originated in China around 8,200-13,500 years ago, beans which Native Americans began cultivating 7,000 BC, and wheat which has been cultivated for over 10,000 years beginning in the Middle East.

Teosinte had hard shells enclosing its seeds and grew on spikes but corn has hundreds of exposed kernels on cobs covered in husks. There are different varieties of corn including dent, flint, popcorn. Rice was first domesticated 8,200-13,500 years ago in China but spread to Asia. Beans have been cultivated for over 7,000 years in Mexico and Peru and wheat was one of the first grains domesticated 10,000 years ago and was crucial to the development of communities and civilization.

Soils for Wicking Beds for Drought GardeningSchool Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens

��

This document discusses regenerating soil for wicking beds. The most important feature of wicking beds is creating a mini ecology with complex soil biology that releases nutrients to make plants nutrient-rich. Even poor soil can be regenerated by farming the soil biology, such as mycorrhizal fungi and worms, to encourage beneficial organisms while discouraging detrimental ones. Maintaining consistent moisture is key to promoting fungi over bacteria and improving soil structure. The document provides tips for selecting soil regenerating plants, called "soil trees," and developing "bio-packs" containing beneficial biology to inoculate soils.

Colin will discuss pasture cropping. Colin is the pioneer – developer of “Pasture Cropping” which is a perennial cover cropping method of sowing cereal crops directly into perennial pastures. It combines grazing animals and multispecies crops , into a single land use method where each one benefits the other economically, environmentally and ecologically. Colin Seis owns a 2000-acre farm “Winona” which is situated north of Gulgong on the central slopes of NSW Australia. ‘Winona’ runs 4000 merino sheep and grows crops like, oats, wheat , cereal rye, brassica, pea and vetch.

The Industrial Revolution and Labor UnionsAmy LC

��

Labor Day became a holiday after the Industrial Revolution to celebrate laborers who fought for fair pay and safe work conditions. The Industrial Revolution led to factories replacing home work, but factories often had long hours, unsafe conditions, child labor, and low pay. Workers organized labor unions to demand better treatment, helping establish workplace safety standards and weekends. Labor Day commemorates these efforts to improve conditions for American workers.

Early farmers also developed improved varieties of plants. For example, around 6000 B.C.E., a new variety of wheat arose in South Asia and Egypt. It was stronger than previous cereal grains, its hulls were easier to remove, and it could be made into bread. As the Romans expanded their empire using warfare and coercion, they wrote manuals about the farming techniques they observed in Africa and Asia, and adapted them to land in Europe. In China, farmers also adapted tools and methods from nearby empires. Economy of Bangladesh A variety of rice from Vietnam ripened quickly and allowed farmers to harvest several crops during a single growing season. This rice quickly became popular throughout China.

Plants domesticationjuana juarez cruz

��

Plant domestication began around 10,000 years ago in Mesopotamia when early humans began artificially selecting traits in wild plants like wheat and barley. Two key areas for early domestication were the Balsas River valley in Mexico, where corn was first domesticated from teosinte, and the Yangtze River valley in China, where Asian rice originated. Plant domestication allowed nomadic humans to settle into agrarian societies and led to the development of early civilizations dependent on domesticated crops like wheat, rice, beans, and potatoes.

Plant domestication began around 10,000 years ago in Mesopotamia where early humans domesticated wheat, barley, lentils and peas. A key early site of plant domestication was the Balsas River valley in Mexico where corn was first domesticated from teosinte plants. Rice was independently domesticated in China from wild rice and in Africa from a different species of wild rice. Beans were domesticated in both Mexico and Peru from wild beans, and potatoes were first encountered and eventually domesticated by peoples in the Andes mountains of South America. Plant domestication was a major development that allowed nomadic humans to settle down into agricultural societies.

This document discusses the origins and early development of agriculture. It notes that agriculture began independently in multiple locations around 10,000 years ago after the last ice age. Early domesticated crops included grains like wheat and barley in Mesopotamia, rice in Southeast Asia, and maize in Mesoamerica. The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture involved cultivating wild plants through activities like weeding, pruning, and burning fields. Key traits like seed size increased through early domestication. Only a few genes were often responsible for major changes in plant phenotypes during domestication. Weeds also began to evolve mimicking cultivated crops. Domestication generally reduced genetic diversity in plants due to genetic bottlenecks.

Slavery projectMercedesLowe

��

Field slaves had an extremely difficult life, working from dawn to dusk picking a minimum of 200 pounds of cotton per week. They were subject to beatings if they did not work hard or meet quotas. House slaves had better conditions and prepared meals, cleaned, and cared for children. All slaves typically received few clothes, often just 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants, and ate a meager diet of foods like cornmeal and salted herring. Their lives were tightly controlled and punishments were used if slaves disobeyed.

From gathering to growing food presentation.pptxElvisVarmie

This document discusses the transition from gathering to growing food, including the beginnings of farming and herding. It notes that wheat, barley and rice grew naturally in parts of the subcontinent and people began collecting these grains as food. Over time, people started thinking about growing these plants themselves and protecting animal herds, leading to the beginnings of farming and herding. The document then discusses the process of domestication around 12,000 years ago and how this resulted in most modern food plants and animals. It describes how growing plants meant people had to stay in one place and find ways to store grain. Archaeologists have found evidence of early farming settlements across the subcontinent by studying remains of plants, animal bones, and housing structures.

Economic Revolutions - Agricultural RevolutionTim Bonnar

1. The document describes changes in job sectors and economies as nations progress from agricultural to industrial to service-based. 2. It then focuses on the agricultural revolution, which involved adopting bigger farms through enclosures and land reclamation, better equipment like mechanized plows and reapers, and improved techniques like crop rotation and selective breeding. 3. These changes dramatically increased food production and lowered costs, fueling population growth and freeing many farmers to seek work in cities as agriculture became more industrialized.

The passage discusses the origins of several staple crops that feed much of the world's population today. It explains that wheat was one of the earliest crops cultivated, around 10,000 years ago in the Mediterranean. Beans have been cultivated for 8,000 years in Asia and the Americas. Crops originating in the Americas include potatoes and maize, which were staples in pre-Columbian civilizations in Mexico and the Andes. Rice cultivation began around 3,000 BC in India before spreading to other parts of Asia. The passage traces the historical development and geographic spread of these important crops over millennia.
