• Cereal farming, growing of cereal crops for human food and livestock feed, as well as for other uses, including industrial starch and biofuel. Cereals, or grains, are members of the grass family (Poaceae) cultivated primarily for their starchy dry fruits. Wheat, rice, corn (maize), rye, oats, barley, sorghum, and some of the milletsare common cereals.

FACTS

• Ellie Bergin Muldoon🦄🌈 The UK currently produces on average 15 million tonnes of wheat each year, nearly 7 million tonnes of barley & nearly 600,000 tonnes of oats. Cereal yields have triples in the last 50 years. In fact Britain holds the worlds records wheat yield. A wheat seed contains 20,000 grains of flour, which helps make over 10 million loaves of bread that are baked in Britain every day. Cereals make a vital contribution to your daily intake of earbohydrate, protein, fibre, vitamins & minerals. Oats contain high level of soluble fibre, which act as a spouse soaking up cholesterol, helping to lower cholesterol levels.

• Cereal crops are interchangeably called grain crops. In many publications and correspondence, they are simply called grains or cereals. As of 2012, the top 5 cereals in the world ranked on the basis of production tonnage are maize (corn), rice (paddy), wheat, barley and sorghum. These crops are also among the top 50 agricultural commodities in the world with maize ranking second next to sugarcane. Rice (paddy) ranks third, wheat - 4th, barley - 12th, and sorghum - 30th. Another cereal, millet, ranks no. 42 (FAOStat 2014, updated Aug. 18, 2014).

• Cereal crops are necessarily grasses, a composite term which refers to monocot plants under the family Poaceae or Gramineae. They are grown primarily for the harvesting of mature grains which are used or processed into staple food and animal feed.They are also processed into various products such as starch, malt, biofuel (alcohol) and sweetener (i.e., high fructose corn syrup).
