Description
This book employs a political ecology lens to unravel how industrial crops catalyse ecological, agrarian, socioeconomic and institutional transformation.
"…this volume addresses the political ecology of industrial crops and the factors that have caused expansion and shifts—even transformations—of industrial crops and cropping systems in various regions, stressing the Global South… Understanding how the forces of political ecology are engaged through land acquisitions, shifting demand, and policy changes to support industrial crops helps clarify the balance between food sources and industrial crops".
