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 do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque o texto não afirma que áreas alternativas da ciência das culturas surgiram apenas para aumentar a produtividade alimentar. Em vez disso, destaca que essas áreas, como a agroecologia, emergiram em resposta à necessidade de abordar injustiças sociais e ambientais, além de promover um conhecimento robusto sobre cultivos. Portanto, a motivação principal das alternativas mencionadas vai além da produtividade, focando também em questões éticas e sustentáveis.
