Abstract

This paper examines the birth of the modern world feed market. Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, increased production of vegetable oils created conditions for the use of seed waste in the manufacture of meal and oilcakes rich in protein and nutrients. For the first time, farmers were able to overcome the ecological limits imposed by traditional animal forages. A symbiotic relationship was created between the seed oil industry and feed manufacturing. As research shows, a very complex cluster was formed worldwide. Some countries specialised in the export of raw materials (seeds) while in Western European countries and in the United States, a dynamic feed sector developed that should be considered as one of the factors contributing to the radical transformation of agriculture in the twentieth century. The study of the market for this type of product is essential in order for us to better understand the opportunities made available to these countries through the development of a production sector specialised in supplying the markets of the industrialised countries.

牲畜饲养全球化:油籽和动物饲料(1800-1940)

本文考察了现代世界饲料市场的诞生。在19世纪和20世纪之间，植物油产量的增加为利用种子废料制造富含蛋白质和营养的膳食和油饼创造了条件。农民们第一次能够克服传统动物饲料带来的生态限制。在种子油工业和饲料制造业之间建立了一种共生关系。研究表明，全球范围内形成了一个非常复杂的集群。一些国家专门从事原料(种子)的出口，而在西欧国家和美国，发展了一个充满活力的饲料部门，这应被视为促成二十世纪农业彻底转变的因素之一。对这类产品的市场进行研究是至关重要的，以便我们更好地了解通过发展专门为工业化国家市场提供供应的生产部门为这些国家提供的机会。

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
