Hundreds of millions of people depend on meals manufactured from the grain of the wheat plant, making it the most significant food crop in the world more than any other food crop; wheat covers a sizable portion of the Earth's surface. Canada, China, the Ukraine, the United States, and Australia are the world's top producers of wheat. A rough estimate of the annual global production of wheat is 735 million metric tons. This much could fill a freight train that would go around the globe about 2.5 times.

Scientists estimate that around 11,000 years ago, people in the Middle East took the initial steps toward agriculture, and wheat was one of the first plants they cultivated to develop the next harvest. People had long before been gathering wild wheat. In this manner, during the millennia of wheat farming, certain and desirable traits of wheat were passed on. These methods led to a progressive improvement in wheat strains and kinds.
