Description

This concise, accessible introduction to understanding agricultural chemicals and public health combines a broad synthesis on a global scale with rich ethnographic narratives on a human scale. Drawing on epidemiology, policy analysis, and social science research on the global commodity chain, the authors describe the system of global agrochemical dependence that constitutes a major threat to human health. Then they draw readers into the lush mountainsides of highland Guatemala, telling personal stories of farmers, their experiences with public health programs, their struggles against agrichemical dependence, and their innovations in sustainable agriculture. Finally, they show how this kind of qualitative, multi-level analysis holds practical lessons for public health. This engaging, brief text is an ideal supplement for courses in global health, introducing students to key concepts with broad coverage and engrossing ethnographic detail. About the Author Courtney Dowdall, PhD, is an applied anthropologist and professional fellow at the American Anthropological Association. She has conducted research in the Western Highlands and Boca Costa regions of Guatemala, focusing on development studies, economic anthropology, globalisation, programme evaluation, and commodity certification. She employs a mixed-methods approach to fieldwork to produce evidence-based policy recommendations for comprehensive programme improvement. Ryan Klotz, PhD, is a data scientist at Sherpa Analytics. The primary focus of his research has been on rural development, agricultural sustainability, and farmer livelihoods, particularly the sociocultural and environmental consequences of agricultural modernisation in several indigenous Maya communities in Guatemala’s western highlands. He organises and conducts collaborative, community-based research in a variety of locations and works with local organisations and stakeholders to improve agricultural programmes for farmers across the developing world.
