*The Crisis of Abundance: Industrial Chemicals and the Problem of Too Much
Food*

Dr. Adam Romero
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.uwb.edu/ias/faculty-and-staff/adam-romero__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!j3rFwvmJwwN_6x_a6WDl2FURadXhrHyKTVqncST2zQfLdUts1VcMgpR5plYaVtJ4c9GLKQkV25fls89m39NAFVoKb1E$>

After WWII, US agricultural output exploded, due in large part to the
massive influx of industrial chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers. The
consumption of farm products, however, did not keep pace and immense
surpluses quickly accrued. This talk explores the role that credit played
in the creation of an agricultural system of high chemical input use and
chronic surplus production. It examines how the expansion of public and
private credit along with the creation of new financial technologies gave
farmers the ability to pay for more and more chemicals despite falling crop
prices caused by too much food.
