Our pioneers today are developing innovative solutions for better products in the agricultural, genetic and medicinal industries. Our pioneers build upon the knowledge that early pioneers including but not limited to the Egyptians and Christopher Columbus discovered. It is because of our past that we can have a better quality life today.

Along the Nile in B.C. times, the Egyptians had some knowledge of scientific processes. In appropriate areas of the Nile Valley, ancient Egyptians bred cattle and geese in order to meet dietary and nutriional needs of their soceity. They used their knowledge to create a more enhanced practice of breeding and fermentation. Ancient Egyptians actually used fermentation processes to create wine. They went on to apply similar techniques to make dough rise for fluffy bread. While it may be very hard to believe, because of these processes that they Egyptians were able to discover, there are over 50 different types of bread within Egypt thousands of years ago.

Then toward the conclusion of the 1400′s, Christopher Columbus and his accompanying exploreres were able to introduce corn to America when he visited this part of the world for the first time in 1492. Spanish explorers came to America with potatoes, which are known to be native to South America. After being introduced to Europe, potatoes were very popular within Germany and Ireland among other countries within Europe.

Our technology has come a long way since before 1800 and biotechnology is still in the process of advancement. It is important to remember that it is because of this past knowledge that early pioneers were able to discover that we can do what we do today.
