Eventually we embarked upon the agricultural experiment that has been part of our history for the past 10000 years.Richard Manning is a journalist and award-winning environmental author. Against the Grain: How Agriculture Hijacked Civilization, Food's Frontier: The Next Green Revolution, and Grassland: The Biology, Politics, and Potential of the American Plains are among his seven works.
