Excerpt from A Paper Containing a Statement of Facts Relating to the Approaching Cotton Crisis: Richmond, Dec. 31, 1864 The annexed tables A, B, C, D, E, F, Cr and H, compiled chiefly from the Board of Trade returns, show the course of the British cotton trade for the last six years.

Snyder traces the factors that led to the crisis--abundant crops, optimistic forecasts, surpluses, and labor unrest--and describes the proposed solutions. The suggested cotton holiday" met with opposition from the conservatives, but others greeted the plan with enthusiasm, calling state legislatures into special session to act on the proposal. Snyder sees the doomed holiday as the last gasp of the family farmer before the overwhelming tide of American agribusiness." Originally published 1984.

A single seed is more than just the promise of a plant. In rural south India, seeds represent diverging paths toward a sustainable livelihood. Development programs and global agribusiness promote genetically modified seeds and organic certification as a path toward more sustainable cotton production, but these solutions mask a complex web of economic, social, political, and ecological issues that may have consequences as dire as death. In Cultivating Knowledge anthropologist Andrew Flachs shows how rural farmers come to plant genetically modified or certified organic cotton, sometimes during moments of agrarian crisis. Interweaving ethnographic detail, discussions of ecological knowledge, and deep history, Flachs uncovers the unintended consequences of new technologies, which offer great benefits to some—but at others’ expense. Flachs shows that farmers do not make simple cost-benefit analyses when evaluating new technologies and options. Their evaluation of development is a complex and shifting calculation of social meaning, performance, economics, and personal aspiration. Only by understanding this complicated nexus can we begin to understand sustainable agriculture. By comparing the experiences of farmers engaged with these mutually exclusive visions for the future of agriculture, Cultivating Knowledge investigates the human responses to global agrarian change. It illuminates the local impact of global changes: the slow, persistent dangers of pesticides, inequalities in rural life, the aspirations of people who grow fibers sent around the world, the place of ecological knowledge in modern agriculture, and even the complex threat of suicide. It all begins with a seed.
