Food Systems in an Unequal World examines regulatory risk and how it translates to and impacts farmers in the agrochemical-dependent agriculture industry of Costa Rica. Ryan E. Galt shows how the food produced for domestic markets lacks regulation similar to that of export markets, creating a dangerous double standard of pesticide use. In seeking solutions, Galt argues for improved governance and research into alternative pest control but emphasizes that the process must be rooted in farmers' economic well-being.
