We also have to consider the climate in the area that allowed the bread basket to flourish. The Sahel in Africa once was productive and much larger, capable of supporting vigorous populations. And we also must take into account that wheat beers were often a driving force of civilization. But I digress...
And I was tempted to go off topic to a subject combining climate, agronomy, linguistics and politics. Fertilizer?
