    Scale-Appropriate Farm Machinery for Rice and Wheat Harvesting: Updates from South and South East Asia Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia Scale-Appropriate Farm Machinery for Rice and Wheat Harvesting: Updates from South and South East Asia Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) 2021 Edited by Scott Justice, Stephen J. Keeling, Govinda Basnet and Timothy J. Krupnik Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia Scale-Appropriate Farm Machinery for Rice and Wheat Harvesting: Updates from South and South East Asia i The Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) was established in 2009 to promote durable change at scale in South Asia’s cereal-based cropping systems. Operating in rural ‘innovation hubs’ in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, CSISA works to increase the adoption of various resourceconserving and climate-resilient technologies, and improve farmers’ access to market information and enterprise development. CSISA supports women farmers by improving their access and exposure to modern and improved technological innovations, knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. By continuing to work in synergy with regional and national efforts, collaborating with myriad public, civil society and private-sector partners, CSISA aims to benefit more than 8 million farmers by the end of 2020. The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is the global leader on publicly funded maize and wheat research and related farming systems. Headquartered near Mexico City, Mexico, CIMMYT works with hundreds of partners throughout the developing world to sustainably increase the productivity of maize and wheat cropping systems, thus improving global food security and reducing poverty. CIMMYT is a member of the CGIAR Consortium and leads the CGIAR Research Programs on MAIZE and WHEAT.

  • International and Local Collaboration in the Social Design of the Harvester in Argentina During the Long Twentieth Century (1900-2010)
    International and Local Collaboration in the Social Design of the Harvester in Argentina during the Long Twentieth Century (1900-2010) Yovanna Pineda Yovanna Pineda [https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8520-7964], Associate Professor, Department of History, University of Central Florida. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 10 December 2019 • Accepted: 18 February 2020 HAAL is published by the Centro de Estudios de Historia Agraria de América Latina – CEHAL (https://www.cehal.cl) The Harvester in Argentina 71 Abstract This article examines the local and international collaboration of farm machine-making between Argentines and Americans. These collaborative interactions provide insight into the multiplicity of design, invention and innovation at the local and international level. Drawing on nearly 100 oral histories, collective memory, more than 60,000 invention patents in a newly created data set, and visual and material culture, the collaborative approach of designer-users and manufacturers/makers demonstrate that the long, arduous task of tinkering and collaborating required participants to believe that building machinery was meaningful, important work. Second, it shows that local oral tradition and community culture mattered to the making of local technology and taking it to the international stage. Keywords: harvester combine, international collaboration, farm machinery, technological innovation, agriculture Resumen Este artículo examina la colaboración local e internacional entre fabricantes de maquinaria agrícola argentinos y estadounidenses.
