Giovanni Federico takes readers on a compelling journey through the evolution of agriculture from 1800 to 2000, highlighting its remarkable growth and transformation over two centuries. The narrative explores the socio-economic factors that have shaped agricultural practices and policies, positioning farming not just as a means of sustenance but as a vital contributor to economic development.

By weaving together historical narratives and economic data, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the agricultural sector's evolution. This work reveals that while agriculture may have been overshadowed by other sectors, its success story is crucial for understanding modern economies and future sustainability challenges.
