DESCRIPTION:Concerns that an increasingly overpopulated and hungry world wo
 uld lead to uprisings and social chaos echoed both in 1960s popular press 
 and official policy briefings. Hunger\, explained as national security thr
 eat and social destabilizer\, had the power\, experts argued\, to tilt a p
 recariously balanced Cold War globe.  This talk examines how Latin America
 \, specifically Mexico\, became the essential cog in solutions to end glob
 al hunger. Despite this\, in narratives of the Green Revolution Mexico has
  held a passive role. By centering the story on Latin America this talk pu
 shes us to question known narratives and examine why historical erasures h
 appen. Additionally\, by turning back to the region this talk will show ho
 w solutions crafted for export left their mark on Latin America's land\, w
 ater\, and communities that ultimately did not benefit from them.
