The author endeavors herein to clarify some of the strategies that industrial agribusiness, in collusion with the state and multilateral structures, sets in motion in order to functionalize the lives of millions of farmers, so that their bodies, enunciations, and sensibilities can be repurposed in accordance with the dynamics of capital accumulation. The argument is based on the idea that agro-extractivism cannot be thought of exclusively as an economic-political and technological system, but as a complex interweaving of cultural meanings, aesthetics, and affections, which, amalgamated under the abstract name of "development", act as a support for the whole system's scaffolding. The book also explores the other side of the coin, describing how, and under what conditions, social movements are responding to the calamities generated by this model. The central thesis is that many ongoing agroecological processes are providing one of the most interesting guidelines at present for visualizing transitions towards post-development, post-extractivism, and the construction of multiple worlds beyond the sphere of capital. Political ecology of agriculture joins the calls that question the cultural project of modernity and the predatory sense imposed by the globalized food empire, and invites recognition of the importance of agroecology in the context of the end of the fossil-fuel era and the likely collapse of our industry-based civilization. . 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental sociology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology  606 $aTechnology?Sociological aspects 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aEnvironmental Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U38000 606 $aEnvironmental Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aScience and Technology Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270 606 $aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental sociology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aTechnology?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aEnvironmental Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sociology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights. 676 $a363.7 700 $aGiraldo$b Omar Felipe$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0970353 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337925403321 996 $aPolitical Ecology of Agriculture$92205542 997 $aUNINA
