Synopsis
Large-scale socio-economic, political and structural changes characterize contemporary agriculture and food today. This Handbook provides an essential overview to help readers understand the future evolution of agri-food through an analysis of the economy in key regions around the world. Along with chapters that investigate agri-food in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Oceania, the book includes contributions that cover topics such as labor, science and technology, the financialization of agri-food, and supermarkets. This Handbook will be required reading for researchers, scholars and students in the social sciences looking to learn more about agriculture and food. Policy makers and industry leaders interested in agri-food will also find this to be an insightful read. Contributors: G. Aboites, C. Bain, J.S. Barbosa Cavalcanti, M.Belo Moreira, B. Bock, A.

'This Handbook makes an important contribution to agrifood studies. Departing from more generalized analyses of globalization and neo-liberalism we are presented with a rich range of country level and thematic studies by highly respected authors. In this way, common trends are subjected to the detailed scrutiny of individual Nation States both in the North and the South, unwrapping the heterogeneous forces at work in each. The thematic section in its focus on key issues and actors similarly exposes the complex tendencies often hidden by more generalized accounts of the global agrifood system. Political economy at its best!' --John Wilkins, Graduate Center for Development, Agriculture and Society, Rural Federal University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
