Description

Globalization and Agriculture: Redefining Unequal Development focuses on the development of national agriculture of nine countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia from two different and complementary angles. One angle is the opportunities created by globalization for agricultural production and how the countries have dealt with the expansion of the world, as a consequence of the world market. The other angle is the social and economic consequences of globalization for agricultural and rural development. The case studies included in this book prove that the contradictory meanings referred above are indeed representative of different facets and features of globalization.

Reviews

  • Antônio Márcio Buainain, Miguel Rocha de Sousa and Zander Navarro debate about the global agribusiness situation with lots of interesting and immersive cases of different countries around the world, giving the readers incredible lessons about competitiveness in the industry. The book brings light to some misunderstood concepts about globalization and its relations within the agribusiness industry that emerged by the complex and multidisciplinary themes related to this topic. Globalization and Agriculture: Redefining Unequal Development is obligatory reading for scholars, market professionals, and governments linked to agribusiness.

    Marcos Fava Neves, University of Sao Paolo

  • Globalization and Agriculture provides a penetrating analysis of agricultural development in a globalizing world. The editors have assembled an excellent team of authors with deep historical and institutional knowledge of each country. Case studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America shed light on the opportunities created by globalization as well as its consequences—both positive and negative. By resisting the overly simplistic generalizations that have characterized much of the debate on globalization, the authors do justice to the complexity of the topic. Researchers and policymakers who work on agriculture in developing countries will benefit greatly from this volume.

    Steven Helfand, University of California, Riverside
