Between the Local and the Global: Confronting Complexity in the Contemporary Agri-Food Sector
ISBN: 9780762313174 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The volume presents a range of critical perspectives on the contemporary agri-food sector. The starting point is the recognition that geography matters in agri-food more than ever, and it plays a diverse range of roles in shaping production-consumption relations. With hindsight, it may be argued that the extensive rural sociological literature on the globalisation of food over the past twenty years has tended to over-emphasise the degree to which food products and processes have indeed been industrialised and standardised. But if diversity and variety have become increasingly significant in...

The book critically reviews the literatures on sustainable communities before addressing through...

Rethinking Agricultural Policy Regimes: Food Security, Climate Change and the Future Resilience of Global Agriculture
ISBN: 9781780523484 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For many decades debates about the future of developed world agriculture policy have been dominated by a long political conflict between European/multifunctional policy regimes and the global trend towards trade liberalisation. The stalemate that had emerged between these two positions by 2000 has now been dramatically reconfigured. This book argues that there are four reasons why this area of policy has now reopened to wider debate: The World Food Crisis of 2008-2011 has signalled a potential end to the era of cheap food. The emergence of climate change as a core policy concern has shifted...
