A History of World Agriculture: From the Neolithic Age to the Current Crisis

Abstract

This work was published in 1997 in French with a
second edition in 2002, from which the Spanish
version printed in 2016 was translated. It is a work
born within the theory of comparative agriculture,
established in the decade of the sixties and seventies
at the National Agronomic Institute, Paris-Grignon,
today AgroParisTech, by Eng. René Dumont, born as
an opposition current with the intention of imposing
in the French colonies the green revolution,
coinciding with the paradigm of traditional
agricultural technology generated by Efraím
Hernández Xolocotzi in Mexico, with which it shares
intentions, some concepts and the recognition that
native communities generate technology different
from that created by Western science
