The article discusses the history of agriculture in the region of La Rioja, Spain from the second half of the 16th century to the 19th century. In particular, it shows how intra-regional differences in crops produced and the degree of agricultural specialization evolved in response to the demand for agricultural products, especially in light of the region's ties to North Atlantic trade routes. The article explains that agriculture in the western part of La Rioja was shaped largely by urban and international demand for wool and wine, while the capacity of traditional agriculture in the East was stretched by population pressures. It notes that areas with greater agricultural diversification fared better economically.
