Beschreibung

During the second half of the nineteenth century, a new global market for wheat came to the fore. Ever since, scarce and perishable food has been transformed into a modern global commodity, millions of tons of which is sold, bought and transported across the oceans, providing the "daily bread" for a fast-growing world population.
