Resumen
Descripción
Civilization is founded on agriculture, which remains as important today as 10 000 years ago when it was born. When early hunter-gatherers settled in groups and domesticated wild crops and animals, society began to evolve rapidly. Some community members specialized in producing food, freeing others to invent ways of spinning and weaving, smelting and casting of bronze, baking bricks, shaping clay on the potter’s wheel and writing. Villages grew into towns and eventually into cities. To examine the true worth of agriculture today and to celebrate the ongoing contribution of different cultures to global agriculture, FAO has chosen “Agriculture and intercultural dialogue” as the theme of World Food Day 2005. This year’s observance will also mark the 60th anniversary of the Organization’s founding.
