Description

Explore the long-term impact of agricultural science policy in this specialized volume from Springer. Persistence Pays examines how public investments in agricultural research and development (R&D) in the United States have shaped the global landscape of farming and food production. Over the last 150 years, and particularly during the second half of the 20th century, public spending on agricultural science in the U.S. grew at a rate exceeding the value of agricultural production itself. This book analyzes how these public investments, working alongside private spending, helped drive productivity growth in both developed and developing nations. As part of the Natural Resource Management and Policy series, this work provides a detailed look at how scientific advancement and government spending influence economic development and agricultural efficiency worldwide. It is a necessary resource for those studying economic policy, resource management, and the history of agricultural science.
