About This Book
The reader is guided from the home outward to trace how common foods and related industries produce and reach the table. Chapters follow commodities—bread and grain handling, meat packing, market gardening, dairy, fishing and oyster farming, rice, sugar (cane, beet, maple), salt, pasta, coffee, tea, cocoa, fruits like bananas, dates, oranges, grapes, and nuts—describing growing, harvesting, processing, transport, and regional variations. Pedagogical notes emphasize locating places on maps, studying illustrations, and answering questions to develop geographic understanding and appreciation of economic interdependence and the workers behind daily foods.
