Last summer, while on vacation with my hubby, I swam a few laps in a pool. I absolutely loved it. I adore being in the water, and Iâd forgotten how all over nice a swim can feel â tiring in a good way and meditative. Plus, thereâs the bonus that itâs not hard on my still-a-little-bit-recovering right knee. After that trip, I told myself Iâd go home and pick up lap swimming.
Evolution of Maize Agriculture Corn or maize (zea mays) is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans.
For maize, the same share of world production is concentrated in a smaller number of countries, i.e. the United States, Europe (EC, CEEC), Argentina, Brazil and China. The United States alone accounts for 40 percent of the worldâs maize output. Other grain production is more widespread around the world. Â· Grains are produced for three principal reasons: direct human consumption (41 percent), animal feed (45 percent) and other uses, including industrial consumption.
