Agriculture began in Iraq nearly 10,000 years ago with the cultivation of crops such wheat, barley and lentils; yet today the country must import the majority of its food and agricultural supplies. In a short film, interactive website and series of real life exchanges, The Iraqi Seed Project explores the agricultural heritage of Iraq from ancient times to the present.
