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. This book, a comprehensive history of world agriculture during this period, explains how these feats were accomplished. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFeeding the World\u003c\/i\u003e synthesizes two hundred years of agricultural development throughout the world, providing all essential data and extensive references to the literature.
