Increasingly, historical analyses also highlight the expertise variously usurped, overlooked, abandoned, or suppressed in the pursuit of “modern” agricultural science. Experiment stations and “improved” plants were instruments of colonialism, means of controlling lands and lives of peoples typically labeled as “primitive” and “backward” by imperial authorities. In many cases, the assumptions of colonial improvers persisted in the international development programs that have sought since the mid-20th century to deliver “modern” science to farming communities in the Global South.
Awareness of these issues has brought alternative domains of crop science such as agroecology to the fore in recent decades, as researchers reconcile the need for robust crop knowledge and know-how with the imperatives of addressing social and environmental injustice.

Comentário: A afirmação é ERRADA porque o texto menciona que as suposições dos "melhoradores coloniais" persistem nos programas de desenvolvimento internacional que visam trazer ciência moderna para as comunidades agrícolas no Sul Global. Isso sugere que, apesar das mudanças ao longo do tempo, as comunidades ainda enfrentam influências e abordagens que refletem essas suposições históricas, indicando que não estão completamente livres delas.
