During the fifty-year period from 1936-86 the modern agricultural
revolution occurred, in which, for the first time, science was
properly harnessed to the improvement in agricultural productivity.
The authors of this 1995 book quantify this improvement and
identify the work of scientists which was seminal to the scientific
and technological advances on which the revolution was founded. The
topics covered include the advances in animal nutrition (in which
the late Kenneth Blaxter was an acknowledged pioneer), animal and
plant breeding, soil fertility, weed, pest, and disease control,
veterinary medicine, engineering (including innovations in tractor
design by Harry Ferguson), and statistical measurement. In
addition, this book describes how these innovations were integrated
into the practical business of food production and discusses the
importance of the Government in setting the scene for scientific
advance.
