This narrative of inevitable changover in agricultural production, changeover in seed that had to happen as part of a modernization process - that story really needed an integration of the farmers in those places, to really be thinking of what it would mean for farmers to be changing over to a new style of production, maybe marginalized from communities they're been a part of before, as a result of losing land or other experiences.

Historian Helen Anne Curry on her book Endangered Maize: Industrial Agriculture and the Crisis of Extinction from University of California Press.
