    Not good photos but makes for an interesting 7 photo journey over 32 years - and what an amazing story it tells of a country that has lifted something like 400 million people out of poverty in 20 years: the largest social engineering in the history of mankind.

    Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed (and, in the case of one particular group of cultivars, canola), is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century. Older writers usually distinguished the turnip and rape by the adjectives round and long(-rooted), respectively. See also Brassica napobrassica, which may be considered a variety of Brassica napus. Some botanists include the closely related Brassica campestris within B. napus. (See Triangle of U).

    Brassica napus is cultivated mainly for its extremely nutritious, oil-rich seed, the third largest source of vegetable oil in the world.
