Advanced Civilization
Over the course of time, the residents of Jericho began cultivating plants and even developed an irrigation system to tackle large harvests. To tackle attacks from neighbouring places and raiders, they built a wall in 8000 BCE, the oldest known protective wall.
They even build a watchtower, whose shadow acted as a way to mark the summer solstice, which may have had significance in those days.

- Animal products (such as eggs or honey).
- Vegetables and fruits.
- Raw nuts and seeds.
- Added fats (like coconut oil, avocado, butter, ghee).
What to avoid
- Grains, although research suggests eating whole grains improve our health and appear to be neutral when it comes to inflammation.
- Heavily processed oils, such as canola and soybean oil.
- Legumes, although research suggests the benefits of legumes outweigh their anti-nutrient content. Cooking eliminates most anti-nutrient effects. Some anti-nutrients may even be good.
- Dairy.

How the Dutch Use Architecture to Feed the World
An agricultural giant
The greenhouse capital
Dutch agriculture is defined by vast landscapes of greenhouses. Some are covering 175 acres.
In the Westland region, greenhouses fill the voids between cities, suburbs, and industrial plants.
Hydroponics
Tech-savvy farmers use hydroponic systems and geothermal energy to produce high yields using limited resources.
Due to a controlled indoor environment, Dutch greenhouses use 1:1 gallons of water per pound of tomatoes produced, compared to the 25.6-gallon global average.
