Abstract

ABSTRACT The production and distribution of food is an important aspect of agricultural geography. Tracing the origin of crops is vital to ensuring future food security, especially in the context of geopolitical and climate change. Drawing on a case study of Kashmir, this article demonstrates how evidence from archaeobotany and ancient writings can be used to trace the geographies of apple domestication, cultivation and distribution. In doing so, it draws attention to the significance of trade networks; in this case those historically supported by the Silk Road.
