The Origin of Crops Author: Chen Guiquan/ Tang Jing Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Co., Ltd.

Introduction · · · · · ·
This is a pure hand-painted, large-format hardcover crop science picture book that took three years to create.

We often say that "food is the first necessity of the people". We regard food as the foundation of life. The various crops we eat every day come from all over the world. Where did these crops come from originally and what kind of development and changes have they experienced? This book selects more than 60 crops that we are familiar with, covering the food crops (rice, millet, wheat, etc.), fruits (apples, peaches, pineapples, citrus family, etc.), vegetables (spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.) and common cash crops (peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sunflowers, etc.) that we often eat in our daily lives. Through exquisite hand-drawn pictures, it shows the origin and spread of these daily crops in a panoramic way, showing children the unusual evolution of crops.

Crops are a gift from nature. Only if we treat them well, they will treat us well. We hope our children will respect food, cherish food, and be grateful for our lives.
