Zusammenfassung:
After the First World War, the improvement of working and living conditions in agriculture became an international issue for the first time. Led by the International Labour Organization and related organizations, as well as overlapping expert networks, agrarian interest groups, trade unionists, and farmer representatives, the immediate interwar and post-war years were a fertile time for international debates, knowledge production, and policy-making. 'Cultivating Fields of Progress' traces the thematic, temporal, and geographical scope of these debates for the first time, from the plight of landless farmworkers in Europe in the early 1920s to the conditions of plantation workers in the 1950s.
