Political Ecology, Food Regimes, and Food Sovereignty: Crisis, Resistance, and Resilience

Autor Mark Tilzey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 2017
This book asks how we are to understand the relationship between capitalism and the environment, capitalism and food, and capitalism and social resistance. These questions come together to form a study of food regimes and the means by which capitalism organises both the environment and people to provision its distinctive system of ever-expanding consumption with food.

Political Ecology, Food Regimes, and Food Sovereignty
explores whether there are environmental limits to capitalism and its economic growth by addressing the ongoing and inter-linked crises of food, fossil fuels, and finance. It also considers its political limits, as the globally burgeoning ‘precariat’, peasants and indigenous people resist the further commodification of their livelihoods.

This book draws from the field of Political Ecology to approach new ways of analysing capitalism, the environment and resistance, and also to propose new solutions to the current agro-ecological-economiccrisis.
It will be of particular interest to students and academics of Environmental Sociology, Human Geography, and Environmental Geography.
