Since the RAC\u2019s opening in 1975, many scholars have used the records of the Rockefeller Foundation for their studies of what is regularly called the \u201cGreen Revolution\u201d of the postwar era and the role that philanthropy has played in its development. Much of this research has focused on the innovations and impact of new seed strains and technologies on food production or, more broadly, on the global implications of these endeavors.<\/p>\n

In her research report, Gabriela Soto Laveaga concentrates on different aspects of the RF\u2019s activities in this arena. \u201cDesigning Agricultural Programs in Mexico and India: Challenges, Successes, and Missed Opportunities<\/a>\u201d looks at the impact of these developments on domestic science and rural development in Mexico. Her report also discusses how the RF, trying to build on its experiences in Mexico for new agricultural initiatives in India, discovered that its assumptions did not necessarily match up with local conditions and needs or with the government\u2019s perspective on its efforts. Gabriela Soto Laveaga is a professor of the history of Science and the Antonio Madero Professor for the Study of Mexico at Harvard University.<\/p>\n
