WHEAT Documentary: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Wheat

This wheat documentary provides a thorough explanation of wheat farming, including growing and harvesting wheat, along with its history, and future outlook on the world's wheat supply.

It could be argued that wheat is one of the most significant natural resources of all time, with a history stretching back tens of thousands of years.

Though the wheat we grow and harvest today is a far cry from the wheat our ancestors consumed, largely due to genetic manipulation as agriculture was commercialized, it still remains a staple food source in many nations.

In today’s world, the global wheat supply has been put under duress by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and concerns about its availability and price have started to bring to the forefront just how important wheat is to sustaining the world’s growing population.

In this wheat documentary, we seek to find the grains of truth within this commodity that has been feeding us all for millennia.
