A History of World Agriculture begins with the emergence of
agriculture after thousands of years in which human societies had
depended on hunting and gathering. It shows how agricultural
techniques developed in the different regions of the world, and how
this extraordinary wealth of knowledge, tradition, and natural
variety is endangered today by global capitalism, as it forces the
unequal agrarian heritages of the world to conform to the norms of
profit. During the twentieth century, mechanization, motorization,
and specialization have brought to a halt the pattern of cultural
and environmental responses that characterized the global history
of agriculture until then. Today, a small number of corporations
have the capacity to impose on the planet the farming methods that
they find most profitable. Mazoyer and Roudart propose an
alternative global strategy that can safeguard the economies of the
poor countries, reinvigorate the global economy, and create a
livable future for all.
