Even with significant advancement in the plant disease control approaches, our comprehensive food supply is still susceptible to large number of pathogens and pests. These diseases of plants can significantly decrease crop yield and this impact of disease is principally severe in developing and under developing nations of the world (McDowell and Woffenden, 2003).
WHEAT
Wheat (Tritium Aestivum) is reckoned amongst the ‘big three’ in the cereal crops, with more than 600 million tones being produced per annum, e.g. the world total harvest in the year 2007 was about 607 million tones as compared to 652 million tones of rice and 785 million tones of maize. (Shewry, 2009)
Investigation of the genetic pool of wheat and its relative plants has shown

In these cultures, the leavened circular breads locally known as ‘Nan’ are used and must be handled with respect, which may always include being kept in upright position and in no way left on the floor or thrown away in municipals. These traditions more or less are instigated from previous native religions in the Middle Eastern regions in which wheat played a comparable role and was at times associated with the sun and its god. (Shewry, 2009)
IMPORTANCE OF WHEAT
Wheat is one of the vital staple food crops of the world; occupying about 17% of the crop acreage throughout the world, nourishing approximately 40% of the world’s population and providing approx 20% of the total calories and protein in the human diet. even though the production of wheat throughout the last four decades had a stable momentous augmentation, a tiredness has been observed throughout the last few years, leading to the lowest existing worldwide wheat supplies ever since 1948-49 (Gupta, et al., 2008).

The tetraploid durum wheat is more modified to Mediterranean areas where the climate is mostly dry than hexaploid bread wheat (Shewry, 2009) and all the other references there in also stated that this tetraploid durum wheat is also known as “pasta wheat” which reflects the major end-use of this specie. Nevertheless, this wheat specie is still may be used to bake bread and is also used in he making of many regional foods such as couscous and bulgar in the different areas of North Africa. Other species of wheat such as einkorn, emmer, spelt are still cultivated in Small amounts in some areas which may include the Balkans, Spain, Turkey, and the Indian sub continental

An Edible History for Humanity was written by Tom Standage which emphasis the history of food and farming used by man throughout history. This book takes us through different parts of the world and gives us examples of how food has changed their way of life. The first civilizations had to go on very little for food. But in the early civilizations,Standage has thought me that food drew everything together. Food wasn’t there just to eat,but was the driving force for the life style of civilizations.
Two women are the most important in a grown man’s life, his wife and his mother. Adam Gopnik, New York University, Institute of Fine Arts graduate and a long time writer for The New Yorker explores his relationship to these women in his article “Bread and Women” (AdamGopnik.com). Gopnik describes how his sojourn into bread baking uncovered insights about his mother and spouse. He utilizes allusions, epithets, and dialogue to portray his wife and mother as important individuals who are unique and interesting in their own rights. Gopnik uses allusions to ancient buildings and famous figures to clarify the complex personalities of his beloved muses.
Anzia Yezierska's book, "Bread Givers," offers readers a concept of immigrants' experiences in the US during the early twentieth century.

The twentieth century within the United States saw great changes when it came to the issue of labor and the role that workers interacted with company owners with the government increasing it role in private business matters. The growth of the labor movement and the growth of a workers ability to collective bargain was heavily influenced by Congressional action. Prior to the Second World War, the federal government did not have much involvement in the struggle between private businesses and organized labor, but this changed in light of the war. The government had played a very small role in the lives of Americans in regards to labor and to regulating corporations, which prompted a mass economic down turn when the bubble that the United States
It could be stored dry for a long time and it was a great substitute to wheat because it grew quicker and in areas where wheat couldn’t be
It's sort of a no-brainier to presume that the coverlets in "Regular Use" symbolize family legacy. They were carefully assembled by the storyteller, her sister, and her mom, and they're included apparel worn by eras of relatives. Gracious, better believe it—and on top of that, one of the story's fundamental characters turns out and for all intents and purposes reveals to us that they speak to legacy. Yet, we should not stop there (what fun would that be?).
When food, in the mind of eaters, is no longer associated with farming and with the land, then the eaters are suffering a kind of cultural amnesia that is misleading and dangerous. (p.
What do a tomato, soybean and a french fry have in common? They are all some of the most commonly genetically modified foods sold on the market today. By using the genetic information from one organism, and inserting or modifying it into another organism, scientists can make food crops stay fresher, grow bigger, and have the crops create their own pesticides. Nevertheless, the technology to modify genes has surpassed its practicality. Genetically modified foods need to be removed from everyday agriculture because of the threat they pose to human health, the environment, and the impact on global economy.
Choi then quotes the Director of food studies at New York University, providing relevancy and authenticity to her work. The statement also establishes a link between what we eat and how it connects to particular memories and places in our minds. Moving on, the article is divided into six different subheadings. Each subheading explains the origin of indigenous food in different countries and what that denotes particular culture. Broadly speaking, food is necessary for survival, signifies status denotes pleasure, brings communities together and is essential for humanity.
The practice was to use a little old dough, or leaven, to create the new dough. These two doughs were mixed together and allowed to ferment for some hours before baking. They made an astonishing 50 varieties of bread, paid wages with bread, and painted bread making scenes in their tombs. Since

Food is very important in Don 't Starve ( As you can tell from the title) so having a good method of gathering food is a must have. First you should dig up berry bushes and move them to your camp. A lightning rod is a must if you do this, as a lightning strike will set a bush on fire, which can spread to the rest of the bushes if they are close together. Setting up a farm as soon as possible is also important. You should be relying on berries, food grown from farms and anything else lying around in the world to keep you feed during your prep time for winter.
My observation took a place in an old family house in a village near city Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was taken between 14:00 and 15:00 during family gathering for a muslim holiday called Eid. I sat in the corner of a dining room filled with around twenty people, all members of one big family. The family members were in a small room of an old traditional house.
We use it in a myriad of foods and recipes and we use it as a source of our energy for the day. Used for generations in thousands of years, we eat bread to come together in our lives. “Americans still consumed about 30 percent of their calories in the form of bread.” (Morano 1) So I leave you with this: I’ve never seen a food that brought people together like bread, we eat it in almost everything, and that’s why I picked this topic; bread is so fascinating, it is in a myriad of things in our life, and nothing can ever truly compare to a perfect freshly baked loaf of
