As stated in the title, this source discusses the role that pests and disease played in the development and history of agriculture in Europe. It will discuss how pests and diseases evolved to attack crops, and the period of time when crops yields were higher ("honeymoon" period) and why this was. This is pertinent because it applies to the European area and the history of agriculture, both subjects we are focusing on this term.
