A History of Irish Farming, 1750-1950
|
Product Description
Book Description
The book deals with changing methods of crop and livestock production
during the `Age of Improvement' in Ireland, and some of the ways in which
they shaped rural society and the landscape. Irish agricultural improvers
were part of an international exchange of ideas that led to the development
of many new implements, crop varieties and breeds of livestock. However, at
the level of small farm production, there was also a persistence of ancient
techniques, some of which have been used since prehistoric times. These
techniques were often condemned by contemporary observers, but modern
research and fieldwork shows that they were most remarkable for their
refinement and effectiveness.
The book shows the rationality of Irish farmers, in developing systems and
techniques that fitted their resources, or lack of them, making Ireland a
major agricultural producer, and overcoming huge environmental and social
obstacles to ensure the survival of millions of people.
