Publisher's summary

This text provides a compelling narrative world history through the lens of food and farmers. Tracing the world history of agriculture from earliest times to the present, Isett and Miller argue that people rather than markets have been the primary agents of agricultural change, exploring the actions taken by individuals and groups over time.

The book is published by Rowman & Littlefield.

"An invaluable contribution for scholars, students at all levels, and general readers alike, it truly is a tour de force." (Robert Brenner, University of California - Los Angeles)
