Abstract

If you look for news online, or even authoritative repertoires, for news on that vast phenomenon of change in agriculture of the twentieth century known as the ‘green revolution’, it will be easy to see how the contribution of Italian research is completely neglected or at least decidedly underestimated by historiography, including Italian historiography. This contribution, on the other hand, aims to show how this contribution was important, and how this importance can be easily inferred also on the basis of objective data (patents, scientific awards and royalties). In particular, the important role played by Gian Tommaso Scarascia Mugnozza emerges from the sources not only as a researcher and innovator in scientific and technical terms, but also as a research politician, and more generally as a politician tout court. In the development of his activities, in fact, it can clearly be seen that after the phase most directly connected to the results obtained by him and his group at the ‘gamma field’ of the Casaccia Nuclear Research Center, he has considerably broadened the prospects for classification. problem theorist, developing an approach based on the idea of ‘food security’ which included both nutritional aspects and the need to ensure adequate food availability, without ever losing sight of issues relating to biodiversity, whose monitoring and safeguard was a pioneer. This activity involved the Academy of XL during his presidency and also led him to develop an intense relationship with national and international organizations, among which the FAO is limited in this abstract.
