This book offers a broad overview of the history of agricultural knowledge from the 19th century to the present day. There are few areas in the history of modern science that have been so neglected like that of agricultural science. This volume presents for the first time an overall picture of the development of agriculture in the 19th and 20th centuries. It provides exhaustive material concerning the institutions and their important innovations as well as how society developed from an agricultural society in the shadow of hunger to an industrial society with excess agricultural production. It also demonstrates how much innovative potential may be found in a methodologically well-founded history of science.
PD Dr. Frank Uekötter lehrt geisteswissenschaftliche Umweltforschung an der University of Birmingham. Für sein Buch »Die Wahrheit ist auf dem Feld. Eine Wissensgeschichte der deutschen Landwirtschaft« wurde Frank Uekötter mit dem Forschungspreis des Deutschen Museums für das Jahr 2010 ausgezeichnet.
Hardly any other area in German society has been influenced more strongly by scientific and technological innovations than farming: A premodern agricultural society on the brink of starvation has developed into a society of industrialized farming with ready-made products, making food available in superabundance and causing serious environmental problems. Frank Uekötter describes the development of farming since the 19th century. He discusses groundbreaking innovations and examines institutions as well as contradictory reactions of farmers towards environmental challenges that have been part of the ecological debate ever since. This book also documents that methods, which are collected and reflected on can turn into historical evidence allowing answers to fundamental questions of German farming- and ecological history.>
