Summary

Most of the wheat grown in Syria and much of the grain in Iraq comes from the fertile river valleys in the north. Forming the northern arc of the Fertile Crescent, these regions have sustained human civilization for thousands of years. But in the 2007 and 2008 growing season, crops failed in the wake of one of the worst droughts in the past decade.
