 Toward Freedom - Rene Dumont: World Food Day Champion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Rene Dumont was a fellow world citizen and co-worker in the African rural development field although he was 30 years older than I and much better known through his scientific monographs on African agriculture and then his popular books on African rural development.
Dumont, with his red sweater and a glass of water to recall the dangers of water pollution, was a marked contrast with the more formal candidates.
Dumont was 70 when he ran for president and after the campaign remained more a "father figure" than an organizer in the structuring of the political ecology movement, done largely by a younger generation.

 René Dumont agronome
René Dumont a marqué l?histoire de la science agronomique : agronome tropical, chantre de la modernisation de l?agriculture française et enfin « agronome de la faim » au chevet des pays dits du « Sud », il a contribué à l?élaboration de nouvelles méthodes de travail agronomique et à la définition d?une nouvelle façon d?aborder les problématiques rurales.
According to René Dumont, the agronomist is, first of all, a specialist of rural development, whose aim is to satisfy the basic needs of any population.
At the beginning of his career, he was, paradoxically, a colonial agronomist behaving like an anti-colonialist militant, for example by trying to defend the agricultural traditions of the Tonkin.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: CUBA'S WOES Fidel's Sugar- Ups and Downs of Revolution
Dumont concludes that Castro inherited an economy based on under-utilization of land, managed by a weak corrupt bureaucracy that never channeled funds back into Cuban development, and relied on improvisational economic policies.
According to the recommendations which Dumont submitted to Castro after his three trips to Cuba, the author suggested a policy based on national diversification accompanied with regional specialization of crops employing a plan of concentric circles to the capital: perishable fruits and vegetables would grow nearby and sugar in far out regions.
Dumont should have realized that many apparently irrational economic decisions can be understood by other, especially political, criteria: most notably the naive goal-setting which produced last year's sugar harvest fiasco.

By the time we passed the Equator and flew over the Rift Valley (we were all given certificates to memorialize the event) I was immersed in an analysis of Africa that was so prescient and profound, I was filled with admiration for the author, but also with dread.
If Dumont was right, Africa was finished from the start of the age of independence.
