The processes were time-consuming, making the available products very limited and expensive. So what you put back is going to be a throwback from the previous generations of seeds where the seeds have been crossed genetically and thus that keeps farmer in debt to and beholden to the seed companies that provide them with new seed that they have to pay for. A collard green is a collard green. 11. In other places in the world people use their own waste to put back in the ground to feed the soil. Washington D.C.; 2010. So the scientists have taken over agriculture production instead of people looking at nature and seeing what nature has provided and how nature works together. It creates a balance that stays in harmony. It’s oxymoric to me to have organic food at Walmart that was produced in China that would have an organic stamp on it. It doesn’t work. Below are detailed timelines covering farm machinery and technology, transportation, life on the farm, farmers and the land, and crops and livestock. Rashid – The PLU (Price Look-Up Code) is the standard number for any place you go in the country or perhaps in the world. This is what we’ve done with all the life around us. By hand, a person can thresh roughly 15 to 40 kg of grain per hour, usually by beating the harvested crop against a hard surface to shake the grain loose from the inedible chaff that surrounds it. It is very important. 24. Nadia – That makes sense. Rashid – The key indication of the quality of your soil is the number of the earthworms that you find. The meatpacking plant of Chicago’s Union Stockyards was a sprawling facility that handled the slaughter, processing, packaging, and distribution of cattle and swine. And then the Second World War war ended and you had all these surplus chemicals and all the chemical manufacturers and the munitions manufacturers wanted to keep making money. Industrial agriculture can pack an economic wallop hundreds of miles from its origin—just ask local governments and utility managers who must install expensive equipment to remove fertilizer by-products from public drinking water supplies. You can’t dominate nature. By setting industrialization against the background of wider processes of economic growth, recent trends in economic history have once again placed agriculture at the center of debate on the formation of modern economies. 1998;56(1):15-33. Diversified farms gave way to genetically uniform monocultures—fields planted with just one crop species at a time, such as corn, wheat, or soy, over a very large area. Everywhere you look. Sixty percent of the hogs in the U.S. are produced in facilities that confine more than 5,000 animals at a given time.17 Image credit: Brent Kim, Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. History of Agriculture primer Compare the two images of tractors and list the similarities and differences and how has industrialization transformed the world's food production. This is still in the same Newtonian mechanic paradigm of science – as in thinking we know what the constituent parts are so we can take it apart and put it back together in a way that we can dominate nature. This includes fruits, nuts, vegetables, wheat, and rice. Whichever nutrient is available to the plants and then the minimum amount will determine that plant’s ability to grow. It was Newtonian physics, Newtonian mechanics. At about 1600 (15th century), whenever Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was around, he created a new way of thinking. 1600-1760: Proto-industrialization in rural areas, organized and financed by rich merchants (e.g., via the putting-out system7); Earthworms are going to come into healthy soil. MacDonald J, Korb P, Hoppe R. Farm Size and the Organization of U.S. Rifkin J. But let that land be productive. To avoid the laborious task of manuring soils to supply nutrients, inorganic fertilizers, such as superphosphates, came into use as early as the 1840s. It provides shipping transports to make money; the farmers make money because the prices get subsidized; the grain companies make money. Just like an audit that you get from an accountant, based upon the information that has been provided to us, we think this is a good audit. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops….While glyphosate and formulations such as Roundup have been approved by regulatory bodies worldwide, concerns about their effects on humans and the environment persist. They sold it to the government. You have a biodiversity…and an echo-diversity. Consolidation in agriculture is the shift toward fewer and larger farms, usually as a result of large farms getting larger and smaller farms going out of business. 2010. History of Agriculture primer Compare the two images of tractors and list the similarities and differences and how has industrialization transformed the world's food production. The same thing happens out in the plains and the prairies where the grass grow. It was the start of everything. Between 1964 and 1976, total pesticide applications on major U.S. crops increased by 143 percent. James HS, Hendrickson MK, Howard PH. You go out into the cotton fields and the soil is dead because its been mono-cropped. The combine harvester performs two processes at once: cutting grain (reaping) and removing it from the inedible part (threshing). 2005;18(3):269-291. When a small number of companies have a large market share of an industry, the market for that industry is said to be concentrated. It is called edible landscaping. Caller (1) – Rashid, do you know of the company that produced the Agent Orange? But if you defoliated it all then you could get the helicopters up there are that could spot the troops as they were moving along. But what did the Vietnamese do? Consolidation and Concentration in the U.S. Round-up is the (main) drug for killing weeds. You have a lot of countries that were devastated after WWII. As with other trends in industrialization, the use of chemical and pharmaceutical inputs in agriculture offered gains in productivity, but not without health and ecological consequences. Henry Ford even credited the animal “disassembly” lines at Union Stockyards with inspiring the idea for his automobile manufacturing plants.3 Photo credit: John Vachon, 1941. Letter to The Honorable Louise M. Slaughter: Sales of Antibacterial Drugs in Kilograms. Using a timeline and short readings, students will explore key milestones in the history of agriculture, with a focus on industrialization and the reasons behind it. So he wanted to have this man come out and trap the boll weevil that we may have on our cotton downtown. 26 Petraň, Joseph, “A propos de la formation des régions de la production spécialisée en Europe centrale,’ Second International Conference of Economic History, Aix-en-Provence 1962 (Paris: Mouton, 1965), pp. The 9 is for organics. 3.2 Industrialization, Labour, and Historians Robert Sweeny, Dept. There’s no label on it that says this collard green is made up of all these different things that we put together. It’s a very simple but complicated system if you understand it. They started breeding programs to hybridize the food and then they standardized it so that all corn is the same size and harvested at the same time.Then we had a man named Norman Borlaug. This was inspired thanks to Atlanta’s organic urban farmer Rashid Nuri who created the Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture. 1995. Agriculture in the Industrial Revolution. Over the course of industrialization, specialization was applied to nearly all facets of food production. Rashid – It’s a very simple proposition. What does market concentration mean for farmers and consumers? Those are the four that really stand out that are commercial crops around the world. The land has been destroyed. You go out in the woods and you see everything growing. Integration of soil, crop and weed management in low-external-input farming systems. What drove the push to consolidate? Kirschenmann FL. Almost all successfully industrialized economies have gone through these key stages in history, as the following examples show: U.K. path to industrialization:6. A chicken farmer, for example, might turn a greater profit on each bird by housing a larger number of birds (up to a point). George Washington Carver is my hero. Atlanta’s OG of black farming, K. Rashid Nuri, at Truly Living Well’s Old Fourth Ward farm. Is this unique to India right now or is this occurring around the globe. Having isolated those elements for the leaves and the roots he stated a theory, which is called the theory (law) of the minimum. Specialization aims to increase efficiency by narrowing the range of tasks and roles involved in production. Heather – And it’s getting into our groundwater? Rashid – That’s very correct. 2013. They left out all the micro-organisms and micro-nutrients in the soil that, in combination, there is a symbiosis between all of these elements that helps plants to grow.

There’s an “assumption” that we can dominate nature and we’re finding out every day that you can’t. – Mary Hendrickson and Harvey S. James Jr.18, Market share is the proportion of an industry’s sales earned by one company. And then you have US commercial farmers growing organic food as a market niche and their food is right next to the Chinese food so there’s a problem with that organic terminology. This means that people lived a nomadic lifestyle, moving with the seasons to follow the food supply. Now, I will use BT but I don’t want a seed that has it in it. 1990. It was a chemical that killed all the crops and harmed the people. Rashid – So the west will say, “try our system it will work. M. de Lucia, Assennato D. Agricultural Engineering in Development: Post-Harvest Operations and Management of Foodgrains. The Chinese have been busted out already for faking it and then you find this food right here in this country. By setting industrialization against the background of wider processes of economic growth, recent trends in economic history have once again placed agriculture at the center of debate on the formation of modern economies. Explain how new industrial agriculture is, given the long history of agriculture. This process gradually leads to a class of workers with some buying power who demand products, thus stimulating further production. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press; 2008. One, farmers were monocropping. From the animals that you have from the farm and use that as a fertilizer – pigs, cows, horses, mules, goats, chickens – all that and even human manure. Public domain. Think about it. Farmers, once skilled in a breadth of trades, fell into more specialized roles. Heather – So you’re talking about the chemicals in our diet – like the prescription drugs, etc. This process gradually leads to a class of workers … For economic growth of a agriculture dominated nation, there is need for restructuring of the national economy, decreasing the share of the agricultural sector in the GDP (gross domestic product ) and in the work force , and boosting the industrial sectors. Photo credit: USDA. I have friends who have lived in the city of Atlanta all their lives. Lesson B: Industrialization of Agriculture Agriculture has dramatically transformed over the last century. He had two terms as Secretary of Agriculture under Roosevelt. The industrialization of agriculture is said to have achieved two goals: to “free” Americans from farming so they could join the labor force in offices and factories, and to make food and farming cheaper so Americans could afford to buy the products offered by new industries.4 Photo public domain. 1. 14. Arabs are buying all this land so they can export commercial agriculture and continue to dominate the populations. Farmers were also motivated by economies of scale—the economic advantage of producing larger numbers of products. By 1900, 40 percent of Americans lived in cities. By hand, a person can thresh roughly 15 to 40 kg of grain per hour, usually by beating the harvested crop against a hard surface to shake the grain loose from the inedible chaff that surrounds it. And what you’re finding all over the world is that western thought processes about agriculture have been exported all over the world. Heather – Let’s talk a little bit about having that one crop in the field and also why farmers are committing suicide. In the U.S. beef slaughtering and processing industry, for example, the four largest companies earn 82 percent of the sales.20 In the supermarket industry, four companies earn at least 42 percent of the sales.21. Then they add the round-up to kill the things as they emerge from the soil so you just have the plants. As the glaciers retreated and plant life patterns and growth areas changed in response, it meant that the need to move so often became slightly less essential - though undoubtedly the lifestyle carried on for thousands of years as people sought to maximize their resource acquisiti… We think that we can try to dominate and control rather than be in harmony with the natural order of things. It’s very important. They invented round-up some years ago that is very efficient in keeping the broadleaf weeds out of the farmland. Rashid – No, we don’t have any elephants down there.

It is a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. J Agric Environ Ethics. Mutual relationship between industrialization and agriculture. You’ve heard me say that if you build it they’ll come. But agriculture production was reduced because of droughts. In just 12 years, between 1964 and 1976, synthetic and mineral fertilizer applications on U.S. crops nearly doubled.10, Pesticide applications on major U.S. crops, 1964–1992. Both sides attributed this late industrialization to an over-reliance on the export of staples: cod, furs, timber, and wheat. Harnatar, India; circa 1906. Mechanization in agriculture greatly reduced the need for human and animal labor.

If you don’t want to have weeds in your field, you hoe your field. Agent Orange was one of the most financially successful chemicals ever created and it was designed by Monsanto. Main focus of these reforms were to grant complete rights for freedom of trade, thus paving the way for the needs for the age of industrialization and urbanization. To meet the growing urban demands caused by this population shift, food producers increased output, often using industrialized methods of mass production, which radically transformed the food system. J Appl Microbiol. And he’s talking about the hidden battle for the world’s food system. Poor farming practices including non-compliance to usage of masks and over-usage of the chemicals compound this situation.In 1989, WHO and UNEP estimated that there were around 1 million human pesticide poisonings annually. Caller (2) – How are you doing brother Rashid? The total number of U.S. farms declined from 5.39 million to 1.91 million between 1950 and 1997. (Note: The plant that exploded was owned by Union Carbide and the explosion took place in 1984). Heather Gray – Tonight we’re going to be talking with Rashid Nuri about industrial agriculture and compare that to, of course, natural or organic production. This should let people know that you can’t dominate nature. Specialization was also applied to animal genetics, as selective breeding produced animals designed for a single outcome—large breast meat, for example, or increased milk production. How this has been interpreted is that scientists today feel as though they can take apart nature and put it back together better than nature can do itself. In: James HS, ed. Weed Res. This represented, in the 20th century, a major power shift from the individual farmer’s control over production to corporate control. The historian Arnold Toynbee created the idea that between 1750 and 1830, there was an 'Agricultural Revolution'. The second is, you’ve mentioned India several times.

War is a very, very profitable enterprise. Heather – So, I think this is really important because this demonstrates how nature will resist this science-based agriculture. 2. He narrowed it down to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Agricultural Productivity in the United States. In the U.S. beef slaughtering and processing industry, the four largest companies earn 82 percent of the sales. Hendrickson MK, James HS. So, since 2011, I have been interviewing Rashid once a month about agriculture and also opening the phone lines for listeners to ask questions about the topic at hand or organic production techniques, etc. Let me say that again. Industrialization is a transformation away from an agricultural- or resource-based economy, toward an economy based on mass manufacturing. 5. Rashid – Monsanto is a very large chemical company. Whereas if you have diversity out there – a diverse biosphere – you’re going to have good insects and bad insects.

Compared to chickens of the 1930s, today’s chickens bred for meat (“broilers”) grow to almost twice the weight, in less than half the time, using less than half as much feed.5 Genetic selection for these exaggerated traits has often come at the expense of the animals’ health, including increased risks for heart failure in broilers and udder infections in dairy cows bred for higher milk production.6. The problem with hybridization is that the seeds (see note #3 below) cannot be put back in the ground. Industrialization is usually associated with … The boll weevil just sat here waiting every year. For most of our existence, humans were hunter-gatherers. That’s never happened in history before. The July 2011 interview with Rashid Nuri was by me, Heather Gray, along with questions from co-producer Nadia Ali. You’re always going to lose some, but you don’t want to put yourself into a position of losing it all. But the interesting parallel here is that the food is grown from the same source of war material – ammonium nitrate. This paper provides historical background on the industrialization of animal agriculture that has led to current public concern and conflict over ILOs.

He would also save the seed from the previous year. Tampa, Florida; circa 1920. He taught folks about crop rotation and adding organic material back to the soil so the soil could be healthy and grow. Other states, notably Denmark and New Zealand, industrialized primarily by commercializing and mechanizing agriculture. I will use the bacteria – it’s natural – to kill soft worms. So with that knowledge you go out and put fertilizer on the plants – not thinking about the soil – not thinking about the life in the soil – and isolating the plants from the soil and saying “We know more than God does.” So again, the thinking was that if we add nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to these plants, then we will be able to grow things.
