Dear colleagues,
The International Conference "European Famines: Between History and Memory (19th-20th Centuries)" will take place at the University of Granada (21-23 September 2022). The deadline for proposals has been extended to 20 June.
Stories of the climate crisis often focus on the future, but agricultural historians already know a great deal about its many pasts. Through accounts of deforestation, the plowing of grasslands and digging up of peat, the rise of animal agriculture, artificial fertilizers, and fossil fuel based systems of food production, we trace the roots of the crisis. By examining the emergence of empires and markets in crops, lands, and people, we can better illuminate both these roots and the asymmetric effects that the crisis is already having.
