Routledge Biological Economies - Agri-food Frontiers Book

Explore the evolving landscape of agri-food studies with Biological Economies: Experimentation and the politics of agri-food frontiers. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment series, this volume addresses the modern challenges facing commodity systems and the political economy of agriculture. This book examines the intersection of regional development and the rural dimension within economic geography and rural sociology. It provides a detailed look at three specific shifts in the field: more than human approaches to economic life, a post-structural political economy of food and agriculture, and the need for enactive, performative research methods. Drawing on over five years of international engagement and research, this text offers a genealogy of these emerging approaches. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in how agricultural frontiers and food systems are being redefined through new theoretical lenses.
