商品描述
This book comprehensively examines the development of Brazilian agriculture by focusing on the crops which evolved from national products to international commodities on a massive scale. It traces the transformation of Brazil from a country with low-yield levels in 1950 to its current position as a leading world producer.
The first section of the book examines the modernization of Brazilian agriculture through a government programme which transformed traditional agriculture through subsidized credit, guaranteed prices, stock purchases, land utilization laws, modern research, new technology and major support for exports. It also explores the changing structures of agricultural production and farm ownership over time, analysing national censuses from 1920 to 2017 to illustrate the increasing efficiency of Brazil's agricultural workers. The book then discusses the history and evolution of the major Brazilian crops in detail, starting with the newer export crops such as soybeans, maize and cotton, before focusing on the traditional sugar and coffee industries. The final section of the book examines two other major areas of agroindustry: forestry and the evolution of the pastoral industries, as well as the growth of a meat exporting sector. The authors also explore questions of sustainability in the context of today's climate challenges, and the role of Brazilian agriculture in the world market going forward. This wide-ranging study will be of interest to a range of academics, including those working in agricultural economics, economic history, the history of Latin America and the history of agriculture more broadly.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書全面探討了巴西農業的發展，重點關注從國內產品演變為國際商品的大規模作物。它追溯了巴西從1950年低產量國家的轉變，至今成為全球主要生產國的過程。
書的第一部分通過政府計劃檢視巴西農業的現代化，該計劃通過補貼信貸、保證價格、股票購買、土地利用法、現代研究、新技術以及對出口的重大支持來改變傳統農業。它還探討了隨著時間推移農業生產和農場所有權的結構變化，分析了1920年至2017年的國家普查數據，以說明巴西農業工人的效率不斷提高。接著，書中詳細討論了主要巴西作物的歷史和演變，從較新的出口作物如大豆、玉米和棉花開始，然後聚焦於傳統的糖和咖啡產業。書的最後一部分檢視了另外兩個主要的農業產業領域：林業和牧業的演變，以及肉類出口部門的增長。作者還探討了在當今氣候挑戰背景下的可持續性問題，以及巴西農業在未來全球市場中的角色。這項廣泛的研究將吸引一系列學者的興趣，包括從事農業經濟學、經濟史、拉丁美洲歷史以及更廣泛的農業歷史的研究者。
