Native American food plants made the most significant addition to the world’s food supply. Plants that were indigenous to the Americas that made a great difference are: Corn - Maize

  12. American Foods That Increased Population

  13. The potato was indigenous to South America. By 8000 B.C., 10,000 years ago, high in the Andes mountains, Native Americans were cultivating potatoes. With the CE, the potato became a cheap food for sailors returning to Europe from America. In Europe, the potato was able to grow in poor soils and in cold weather, so it became a very popular farm crop. Potatoes

  14. The Potato The potatoes that Europeans brought back to Europe provided food for thousands of poor workers in Europe. These workers then helped fuel the industrial revolution in Europe. To this day, the potato continues to be one of the major sources of food calories in the world.
