Abstract

This article deals with the First National Congress of Agronomic Engineering held in Madrid in 1950, at a time of critical food shortage. This took place within an international framework in which the Franco regime was increasingly accepted thanks to the strategic interests of the United States. We examine the professional attitudes towards the interventionist and autarkic agricultural policy that had been developed by the Spanish Government since the end of the Civil War. The Congress became a platform for demanding an end to interventionism and a new, more technical-productivist approach, while maintaining strong protectionist policies. The relevance and interest of this study is evident, considering the significance of Rafael Cavestany’s policy critique in Congress, and the fact that he would take over as Minister of Agriculture in July of 1951.
