With the colonization of the Americas a wide range of new seeds, crops and animals are starting to spread between the New World and the old. From the first moment of introduction crops such as maize, manioc and tomatoes are now spreading over the entire old world, just as Non-American beasts of burden are becoming ever-more sought after in the new world.\nAs lands that were once considered unfit for growing anything, either for part of the year or in some cases ever before, are put to use in the production of food and cereals, the general availability of food in the world is higher than ever before. Few things in this century will bring as much benefit to the common man, as grown food is now much less scarce than it once was.
