Resisting Agribusiness in the Global South: Capitalism, Ecology, and Agrarian Change

This book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary discussion of agribusiness across the Global South and emerging resistance and alternatives to it.

Bringing together researchers and policymakers from Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, the book details the social, economic, ecological, and food-insecurity impacts of agribusiness expansion across all these regions. With special emphasis on the perspectives of early career researchers and other emerging voices, it provides new, on-the-ground insights into relations between agribusiness and global commodity chains; entanglements between agribusiness, ecological plunder, and food insecurity; and emerging trends among Global-South-led alternatives and resistance to the current neoliberal status quo. In organizing itself into clear sections under these three themes, it brings out hidden connections between experiences at the national, regional, and global levels.
This is a must-have resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and activists concerned with Global South development, sustainable development, sustainable agriculture, regional planning, and food studies.
