Arturo Warman takes on the ambitious task of examining the roles played by corn cultivation in the world's economy since European explorers first encountered this versatile and productive New World crop at the end of the fifteenth century. Corn has become an important food staple around the world. Among this plant's virtues are its ability to prosper in many environments, its nutritional value, high yields, and relative simplicity of cultivating, storing, and processing. In fact, corn provides the basis for the majority of all food products found in modern day supermarkets and, along with soy, is the primary ingredient in all commercial cattle, pork and poultry feed.
