Résumé
The Spanish colonisation of American territories had an important environmental dimension since the colonists sought to replicate the Iberian countryside across the Atlantic. The acclimatisation and the cultivation of European cereals in colonial Mexico (New Spain) were carried out by a category of Spanish peasants referred to as labradores in the documentation. Little is known about this group of rural immigrants despite their participation in the adaptation of wheat to the Americas and the consequence of their presence on the constitution of colonial society.
