Chapter Chapter 7 in Brazilian Agricultural Development, 1890–1950, 2025, pp 115-136 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Better cotton seed selection and adapting agriculture to drought conditions would aid the Northeast and improved cattle breeding and processing benefited the Center-South, but nationwide gains in agricultural production using modern techniques remained crippled by a lack of trained agronomists. The reforms destined to improve agricultural education instituted with the resurrection of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1910 bore little fruit. The Ministry served mainly as an intermediary, pledging to donate land and buildings to support state and local government as well as private initiatives.
