商品描述

This study discusses an original proposal aimed at critically analyzing the power relations that exist in contemporary agriculture. 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.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這項研究討論了一個原創提案，旨在批判性地分析當代農業中存在的權力關係。作者在此努力澄清一些工業農業企業與國家及多邊結構勾結所啟動的策略，以便使數百萬農民的生活功能化，讓他們的身體、表達和感知能夠根據資本積累的動態重新被利用。這一論點基於這樣的觀念：農業提取主義不能僅僅被視為一個經濟政治和技術系統，而應被理解為文化意義、美學和情感的複雜交織，這些在發展這一抽象名稱下融合，成為整個系統支架的支撐。

本書還探討了另一面，描述社會運動如何以及在什麼條件下回應這一模式所產生的災難。中心論點是，許多正在進行的農業生態過程目前提供了視覺化向後發展、後提取主義過渡的最有趣的指導方針，以及在資本範疇之外建構多重世界的可能性。

《農業的政治生態學》呼應了質疑現代性文化計畫和全球化食品帝國所施加的掠奪性意義的呼聲，並邀請人們認識到農業生態學在化石燃料時代結束及我們基於工業的文明可能崩潰背景下的重要性。
