Web Note: This essay, written by Carmelo Ruiz-Marrero, a Puerto Rican activist and long-time ally of the OCA, outlines the rise of industrial agriculture in the US and Mexico through the influence of one man, Henry A. Wallace.

The life of Henry A. Wallace, one of the most important forefathers of modern industrial agriculture, is an outstanding example of the idealism, contradictions and conflicting agendas behind the green revolution.
