In the last two centuries, agriculture has been an outstanding,
if somewhat neglected, success story. Agriculture has fed an
ever-growing population with an increasing variety of products at
falling prices, even as it has released a growing number of workers
to the rest of the economy. This book, a comprehensive history of
world agriculture during this period, explains how these feats were
accomplished.
"Feeding the World" synthesizes two hundred years of
agricultural development throughout the world, providing all
essential data and extensive references to the literature. It
covers, systematically, all the factors that have affected
agricultural performance: environment, accumulation of inputs,
technical progress, institutional change, commercialization,
agricultural policies, and more. The last chapter discusses the
contribution of agriculture to modern economic growth. The book is
global in its reach and analysis, and represents a grand synthesis
of an enormous topic.
