Commodification of Global Agrifood Systems and Agro-Ecology

Convergence, Divergence and Beyond in Turkey

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Commodification of Global Agrifood Systems and Agro-Ecology employs a form of comparative perspective which allows the particular processes of restructuring of agrifood relations in Turkey to be simultaneously distinguished from, yet related to, changes taking place in global power dynamics. Based on original research, the book treats changes in food provisioning as an analytical thread capable of uncovering how the normative acceptability of capitalized agriculture and techno-scientific innovation is entangled with processes of class formation, growing inter-capitalist competition and Islamic politics.
