Overview

This book is the first study of the new transnational agrarian movements (TAMs) from their perspective. Merging scholarship with activism through a methodology of observant participation, it explores how TAMs strategize within the global governance of agriculture to confront neoliberal aims of expanding capital penetration in the countryside. TAMs oppose this phase of financialization and instead foster a system based on agroecology and re-peasantization of production, valuing labour and natural resources over capital. The book also outlines how TAMs defend food sovereignty and oppose neoliberal policies in the context of climate change negotiations.
