Synopsis

Civilizations depended on more than fertile fields. Grain had to be stored, moved, measured, taxed, cooked, and protected through bad seasons. This history follows food as a system linking farmers, rulers, traders, cooks, and urban consumers across the ancient and premodern world. It shows how diets expressed climate, labor, belief, and rank, while shortages exposed the political limits of every state.
