Ancient Greece's Agriculture
In Ancient Greece, soil along the coastline was not very fertile. The people used irrigation to help. They also used crop rotation. The Greeks grew figs, olives, and grapes. They had goats for cheese and milk. In the plains, they would plant grains such as wheat. The wheat was used to make bread. Bread, wine, seafood, and fish would be homemade. They were very popular food. In some of the Greek city-states, cook shops would have meat that the Greeks could buy, but meat was mostly used for religous sacrifices, and was rarely eaten.
