During the Cold War, coffee became a strategically important crop in the global contest between the United States and the Soviet Union. The economies of many US allies in Latin America depended upon coffee. In the Cold War context, then, the coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) became a geopolitical problem. Coffee experts in Latin America, which produced most of the world's coffee, began to prepare for an outbreak. In the 1950s, they built a global network of coffee experts. This network was sustained by US-led Cold War programs that promoted technical collaboration across the Global South, such as Harry Truman's Point Four programs. We explore the network's growth and evolution through one of its central figures, the American plant pathologist Frederick L. Wellman. This network has survived the end of the Cold War and evolved to reflect the new geopolitical context.

在冷战期间，在美国和苏联之间的全球竞争中，咖啡已成为具有战略意义的重要农作物。美国在拉丁美洲的许多盟国的经济都依赖咖啡。那么，在冷战时期，咖啡因铁锈（Hemileia hugeatrix）成为地缘政治问题。生产世界上大多数咖啡的拉丁美洲咖啡专家开始为爆发做好准备。在1950年代，他们建立了咖啡专家的全球网络。该网络由美国领导的冷战计划（该计划促进了全球南方的技术合作）维持，例如哈里·杜鲁门（Harry Truman）的“第四点”计划。我们通过其核心人物之一，美国植物病理学家Frederick L. Wellman探索了网络的发展和演变。该网络在冷战结束后幸存下来，并不断发展以反映新的地缘政治背景。
