Materials and information for this course are taken from an array of sources, some of which are listed on the resources page. Don't take too seriously the centers or non-centers of origin of food plants. What precisely we know varies for different crops - thus, unless otherwise stated, information herein should be regarded as a general guide. Some crops may have originated beyond a single region. For other crops there may still be disagreement on area of origin.
