Feeding the World Federico Giovanni
In the last two centuries, agriculture has been an outstanding, if somewhat neglected, success story. This book, a comprehensive history of world agriculture during this period, explains how these feats were accomplished. 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.
It covers, systematically, all the factors that have affected agricultural performance: environment, accumulation of inputs, technical progress, institutional change, commercialization, agricultural policies, and more. "Feeding the World" synthesizes two hundred years of agricultural development throughout the world, providing all essential data and extensive references to the literature. 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.
