“…In ancient times, farmers utilized many grain and oilseed production systems and may have selected for perennial habit during the initial stages of rice domestication. However, annual production was eventually adopted to increase production (62). Green Revolution technologies have dramatically enhanced crop yields (11,47) but have reduced ecosystem service outputs (136).…”

Historically, agroecosystems have been designed to produce food. Modern societies now demand more from food systems-not only food, fuel, and fiber, but also a variety of ecosystem services. And although today's farming practices are producing unprecedented yields, they are also contributing to ecosystem problems such as soil erosion, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. This review highlights the potential benefits of perennial grains and oilseeds and discusses recent progress in their development. Because of perennials' extended growing season and deep root systems, they may require less fertilizer, help prevent runoff, and be more drought tolerant than annuals. Their production is expected to reduce tillage, which could positively affect biodiversity. End-use possibilities involve food, feed, fuel, and nonfood bioproducts. Fostering multidisciplinary collaborations will be essential for the successful integration of perennials into commercial cropping and food-processing systems.

“…Its origin is still surrounded by controversy, with some researchers holding the view that it was first domesticated in Southeast Asia around the bay of Bengal and other researchers claimed that it was first domesticated in China around Yangzi valley since around 7000 BC (Chang, 1983;Hill, 2010). World's production of rice for the year 2012 was estimated to be 719,738,273 tons harvested from 163,199,090 ha of farmlands with average yield level of 4.441 tons (FAOSTAT, 2014).…”

“…This was, in part, necessary because the wild progenitor of East Asian rice is a wetland perennial (Oryza rufipogon), which is a poor grain producer except when under water stress. Thus, part of the early evolution of this crop was a genetic shift towards annuality -although many rice varieties are still perennial if left in the field (Hill 2010). Early intensive wet-rice agriculture is evident from preserved field systems, found at two sites in the Lower Yangzte river valley at 4,200-3,800 BC, Chuodun and Caoxieshan, and one site in the Middle Yangzte, Chengtoushan, at ca.…”

After the domestication of plants and animals, the subsequent spread of agriculture represented a process of adaptation of both species and landscapes. Crop species moved beyond their original ecological limits, and their range expansion, when successful, was generally the result of adaptive post-domestication genetic changes on the part of the plants, human-induced changes in agricultural landscapes, and the dynamics of cultural food choice. This chapter explores the patterns by which agriculture became established as a consequence of the diffusion of domesticated plants (and sometimes people), as well as the ways in which agricultural systems were gradually transformed through the diversification of crop packages. Comparisons from across Eurasia are drawn to identify general patterns in crop dispersal, with three categories playing the largest role in the diffusion of grain-based agriculture. These agricultural systems are discussed and their modes of diffusion, stories of collapse, and examples of new adaptations on the part of the crops and agricultural systems detailed.
