Man must eat in order to live; therefore, one of the most important problems man has is how to have enough food for eating.

At first man didn’t have any way to control food supply. When he had killed the animals in one place and all the natural foods had been used up, he had to move to another place to find new sources of food. If there was no rain, or if the weather was too hot or too cold plants would not grow, and man had little or no food. However, man gradually learned to grow plants and raise animals himself. From that time on, man didn’t depend so much on nature conditions and didn’t have to worry so much about always having enough food. The kinds of plants which are raised by man are different in different regions. In the cold regions, very few plants can be grown in the warmer parts of the world, many varieties of plants are found. For example, in Asia rice is the most important crop. In the New World, the major grain is corn. In Europe and North Africa, wheat, oats(燕麦) and barley are grown. In the tropical(热带) regions of the world, many kinds of fruits grow naturally or are raised by man.

As man has learned more about plants and animals, man now uses modern methods to produce different kinds of food. However, there are still some areas in the world where plants and animals are raised in much the same ways as were used thousands of year ago.
