Welcome. This is the discussion space attached to the Agriculture and Farming Atlas, covering crops, livestock, farming practices and the people and institutions behind them, honest that the causes of the Neolithic Revolution and of honey bee colony collapse disorder are carried as open questions rather than settled. A few house rules: keep a disagreement about evidence rather than about people, and cite what you can.
The atlas itself is still being built. Every room below carries an opening note from the curator to start it off, and you are welcome to open your own thread on anything those rooms cover, or to use this room for whatever does not fit a narrower one.
