Eddens connects today's efforts to cultivate a "Green Revolution in Africa" to a history of American projects that introduced capitalist agriculture across the Global South. Expansive in scope, this book draws on archival records of the earliest Green Revolution projects in Mexico in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as interviews at development institutions and agribusinesses working to deliver genetically modified crops to millions of small-scale farmers across Africa. From the offices of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the halls of the world's largest agricultural biotechnology companies to field trials of hybrid maize in Kenya, Eddens shows how the Green Revolution fails to address global inequalities. Seeding Empire insists that eradicating hunger in a world of climate crisis demands thinking beyond the Green Revolution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Green Revolution $z Africa. 650 0 $a Economic assistance, American $z Africa. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $z Africa. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $z Africa. 650 0 $a Green Revolution $x History. 650 6 $a ReÌvolution verte $z Afrique. 650 6 $a Aide eÌconomique ameÌricaine $z Afrique. 650 6 $a Plantes transgeÌniques $z Afrique. 650 6 $a Climat $x Changements $z Afrique. 650 6 $a ReÌvolution verte $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Climatic changes $2 fast 650 7 $a Economic assistance, American $2 fast 650 7 $a Green Revolution $2 fast 650 7 $a Transgenic plants $2 fast 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Eddens, Aaron, 1985- $t Seeding empire $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2024] $z 9780520395329 $w (DLC) 2023048604 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724030305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79802550498311EFAB853F282BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
