Agriculture Diet

By Catherine Ross

Agriculture Diet• Agriculture diet is growing your own food

• You must grow your own food and maintain it which takes work but in the end you get food!

• Some foods you can grow are corn, tomatoes,

wheat, potatoes, watermelon, and lots of others.

Cahokia’s diet• Lots of corn• No protein

Advantages• Lots of Farming Land• Lots of crops that can be grown• Use the seeds in crops to grow more crops• Animals such as horses and ox can prepare and fertilize the land for growing crops.• Lot of land to crow crops

Advantages• Won’t run out of corn for awhile or unless the population grows rapidly fast

Disadvantages• Off seasons – no crops, must save from planting season

• In planting seasons if too much rain or heat, no crops will grow

• No protein in corn teeth will rot• No deer to hunt because

Habitat was destroyed by Woodhenge

• Not a variety of food

• No protein

• Not healthy

Disadvantages of others adopting the

diet
