This book delves into the intricate web of ecological, agrarian, socio-economic, and institutional transformations sparked by industrial crops, employing a political ecology lens. By utilizing multi-scalar analysis and a keen focus on marginalization, social difference, and discourses and narratives, it offers a critical and comprehensive evaluation of the transformative power of industrial cropping systems. Spanning across the global South, including case studies such as soybeans in South America, cashew nuts in Guinea Bissau, cotton in India, maize in China, jatropha in Ghana, sugarcane in Peru and Eswatini, and oil palm in Ghana and Peru, this volume provides a truly international perspective.
Chapters introducing key concepts of political ecology and critical dimensions of industrial cropping systems related to large-scale land acquisitions, land grabbing, and marginal land contextualize the unique case studies. Each chapter employs diverse approaches rooted in political ecology, offering a rich overview of how the field engages with these cropping systems.
Overall, this volume presents valuable insights for improving current policies and practices in industrial crop settings, both in developed and developing countries. With its comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, this volume appeals to students and scholars of political ecology, agrarian studies, development studies, and ecological economics.
