Making the Green Revolution Agriculture and Conflict in Colombia【電子書籍】[ Timothy W. Lorek ]

＜p＞In November 2017, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) celebrated its fiftieth anniversary at its headquarters outside Palmira, Colombia. As an important research center of the so-called Green Revolution in agricultural science and technologies, CIAT emphasizes its contributions to sustainability, food security, gender equity, inclusive markets, and resilient, climate-smart agriculture. Yet these terms hardly describe the Cauca Valley where CIAT is physically located, a place that has been transformed into an industrial monoculture of sugarcane where thirteen Colombian corporations oversee the vast majority of this valley’s famously fertile soil.

Lorek describes in ＜em＞Making the Green Revolution＜/em＞: an international research center emphasizing small-scale and sustainable agricultural systems sited conspicuously on a landscape otherwise dominated by a large-scale corporate sugarcane industry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Utilizing archives in ．．．楽天市場のショップで商品詳細の続きを見る
