Agriculture emerged in the Middle East 12.000 years ago. Crops, skills and ancestral knowledge have been passed down through generations to us. However, this indigenous agriculture was disrupted, dislodge to the profit of colonial production or simply destroyed. This is a short history of our Green Roots in the Middle East.
