David Alonso Núñez (Ribadumia, 2002) is studying for a degree in History at the University of Santiago de Compostela (2024), as well as a postgraduate degree in Contemporary History at the same university (2025). He is currently a pre-doctoral researcher in Contemporary History at the USC itself with an FPI contract linked to the project Reconstructing and deconstructing agricultural innovation systems in the 20th century. Historical evidence of Atlantic agriculture for a sustainable future (PID2024-155185NB-I00).  

His doctoral research, supervised by Lourenzo Fernández Prieto and Daniel Lanero Táboas (USC), seeks to analyse how agricultural technicians and engineers during Franco's dictatorship were introduced and socialised into international technical innovation institutions and communities. In this way, they assimilated the prevailing discourses on agricultural innovation (clearly permeated by the innovative ideology of the United States) and subsequently applied them in Spain. Based on this, the aim is to examine the ‘Green Revolution’ from a decolonial perspective, that is, as a pattern of action repeated in different contexts that changed our rural world and our vision of it. The title of his thesis is: ‘Science, technicians and the industrialisation of Atlantic European agriculture (1945-2000): a decolonial historical approach’.
