This chapter explores the history and mission of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and its role in pursuing economic development through land redistribution and support for small farms as reparations for colonialism. It discusses the FAO's work in providing advice on land surveys and mapping to prevent unequal distribution and its mission to support member nations in confronting decolonization.
Featuring Jo Guldi on the global history of the long land war—a war over everything from agrarian reform to tenant rights, from India and China to England and Ireland, from the late 19th century through the present—and into the future.
