DESCRIPTION:Andrew Ofstehage\n\nProgram Coordinator\, CALS International P
 rograms\n\nNorth Carolina State University\n\nWelcome to Soylandia! Old so
 ils\, new crops\, tiny white flies\, and the new American farmer\n\nDr. An
 drew Ofstehage will discuss his new book\, "Welcome to Soylandia: Transnat
 ional Farmers in the Brazilian Cerrado" with a focus on how transnational 
 farmers learn how to grow soy in a different environment\, a different eco
 nomy\, and a different cultural world. Special attention will be paid to h
 ow these farmers balance agronomic concerns of soil\, seeds\, and pests\, 
 with business concerns about investment\, farm workers\, and government re
 gulation. Transnational agriculture in this context depends on flexibility
  in terms of work\, crops\, and land that allow the farm owner to detach f
 rom typical farming concerns. This flexibility allows the farm owner to fo
 cus on investor relations\, government regulations\, and other business co
 ncerns. Yet\, matters of land and soil bring farmers' attention back to th
 e material life of farming as they adapt to differences in Brazil and crea
 te narratives of care and improvement.\nMore info: https://ag.purdue.edu/e
