Co-Creating Hybrid Corn
Histories of hybrid corn have largely been written through the American experience of scientific breeding and the commercialization of hybrid seed. This article argues that the early European development of hybrid corn followed a different trajectory. Focusing on Galicia in northwestern Spain, it shows how international advances in genetics were adapted through sustained collaboration between researchers and farming communities. Drawing on the ar…
The social valuation as a limiting factor in plant breeding research
Focusing on Iberian rye, we explain how social opinion about crops can influence botanical scholars’ studies and breeding engineers’ research. Rye was an essential plant in some agricultural systems of the Iberian Peninsula for centuries because of its resistance. However, despite rye’s superiority over other cereals in adverse environments, its inferior position compared to wheat regarding food preferences helps to explain a lower consumption an…
Growing maize in the Iberian Peninsula
Meeting the water requirements for crops such as maize through irrigation can conflict with the increasing demand for efficient water management. This paper aims to contribute to the search for solutions to achieve a more rational water use for this crop in the Iberian Peninsula. It analyses written sources and unpublished oral testimonies to highlight the value of peasant and scientific knowledge in managing water resources through farming techn…
La contribución general del reino en Galicia (1817-1821)
En 1817, la aprobación de la reforma de Hacienda impulsada por Martín de Garay implantó un sistema tributario que tenía en la contribución general del reino su figura central. Un impuesto directo que gravaba esencialmente el ámbito rural y la renta agraria. Desde un punto de vista general, sus principales caracteres son bien conocidos, así como algunos de los obstáculos que afectaron a su desarrollo. Sin embargo, otros factores que contribuyen a …
