Agricultural Diversification and U.S. Ties: The Technicians

Earl Richard Downes ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in Brazilian Agricultural Development, 1890–1950, 2025, pp 29-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Brazilian goal of wringing new wealth from the land led to the employment of U.S. technicians to aid a diversified agriculture. The faith in U.S. technical expertise adopted by Brazilian students in U.S. universities and already expressed by Assis Brasil, Pereira Barreto, and others embodied a general notion that Brazil could benefit by adapting the ways of U.S. agriculture. In an evolutionary process, those regional elites most interested in reform began to invite U.S. agronomists and geologists to Brazil to participate in or even lead the diversification movement.
