These were granted regardless of the orientation of the dominant political party in both countries. This book documents the Cold War-driven aid programs, the private capital, and investment from American philanthropists that laid the foundation for economic development to soar in Brazil through to today. Earl Richard Downes explains how Brazil became a major catalyst for change with US assistance and a military government. This rich history includes conflict over land titles, displacement of farm laborers, environmental damage, as well as political and social turbulence. The book breaks down how Brazil's military inserted itself into major components of the agricultural revolution, including mechanization, fertilization, credit, technical assistance, research, processing, and marketing. Chapters break down the global impact made through the frameworks and models used to develop Brazilian agriculture. Downes also offers insight into the nation's first agricultural research corporation, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA). Earl Richard Downes (1947-2024) was a military officer, private-sector activist, and civilian educator. He held a Bachelor of Science in Latin American Studies from the US Air Force Academy, a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies from the University of Florida, and a PhD in Latin American History from the University of Texas at Austin. Downes dedicated his career to improving US Latin American relations. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a338.10981 700 $aDownes$b Earl Richard$01785345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983482203321 996 $aBrazilian Agricultural Development, 1950-1985$94316905 997 $aUNINA
