Around 1500 A.D., an African farmer planted a maize seed imported from the New World. That act set in motion the remarkable saga of one of the world’s most influential crops. This compelling history offers insight into the profound influence of maize on African culture, health, technological innovation, and the future of the world’s food supply.
