Abstract
This chapter examines the history of agriculture and food supply in Goiás, Brazil. It explains that the inhabitants of colonial and early nineteenth-century Goiás favored gold mining over agriculture, and that most subsistence agricultural and food production for local markets took place on small plots. The chapter discusses the efforts of Captain General Francisco de Assis Mascarenhas to promote agriculture and cattle ranching, and describes the technological level of agriculture in the province. It also explores the problems of agriculturalists related to pests, parasites, taxes, lack of government support, and threats from bandits and Indians.
Keywords:
