In the early 1900s, it accounted for 70% of the country\u2019s production and 100% of exports. What happened to this agrarian system in the following 100 years? How did it respond to population change (fertility, migrations, division of land between heirs at each generation, etc), economic transformations (urbanization and in particular the growth of Bangkok, industrialization, rice price fluctuations, skyrocketing land prices, etc), technical change (eg rice cropping or aquaculture), or changes in water control (storage, irrigation infrastructure, individual pumping capacity, etc) and in the water regime (floods, drought, pollution, etc)? How does Thailand\u2019s rice bowl look like in 2020? This seminar will discuss how particular patterns of agrarian change in the Chao Phraya Delta result from this multiplicity of drivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\nDr. Fran\u00e7ois Molle is a senior researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), France and visiting scholar at CSEAS.
