Political Ecology of Agriculture = Agroecology and Post-Development /
Giraldo, Omar Felipe.

Political Ecology of AgricultureAgroecology and Post-Development /[electronic resource] :by Omar Felipe Giraldo. - 1st ed. 2019. - XIX, 150 p.online resource.

Introduction -- Agroextractivism: the desert grows -- The economic rationality of agroextractivism -- Territorial control and geographical expansion of agribusiness -- The government of the affects -- Agroecology in post-development settings -- Re-inhabiting the skin of the earth through agro-ecology -- The future, behind.

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. .
