Our global food system is largely based on unsustainable industrial agricultural practices, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, is controlled by a handful of large corporations and produces unhealthy food. Agroecology is a solution to these increasingly urgent problems.After decades of being dismissed by mainstream institutions and defended in obscurity by grassroots movements and farmers, agroecology is suddenly in fashion. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization, government ministries and even corporations are jumping on the bandwagon. But, are they pushing the same agroecology as developed by pioneering farmers and scientists and pushed for by peasant social movements, or are they seeking to coopt the concept and give it different content?Rosset and Altieri, two of the worlds leading agroecologists, outline the principles, history and currents of agroecological thought, the scientific evidence for agroecology, the social aspects of bringing agroecology to scale and the contemporary politics of agroecology.

This book dives deep into the ties between science and politics in agrarian settings. It really made me rethink how policies affect peasant communities. Highly insightful for anyone involved in environmental studies!

Engaging and Relevant
This little book packs a punch! It's super engaging and covers crucial issues in agrarian politics. Perfect for students and activists alike. I’ve already recommended it to my classmates!

Informative but Dense
While the topics covered are important, the writing can be pretty academic and heavy at times. I found it valuable, but it took me a bit longer to digest than I expected. Worth the effort if you're into agrarian studies.

Perfect for My Research
I bought this for my graduate studies, and it’s been super helpful in understanding the political landscape of agrarian change. The case studies are relevant and really illustrate the issues discussed. Just what I needed!

Not What I Expected
I was looking forward to a more practical guide but found it to be more theoretical. It does have some strong points about peasant studies, but it didn’t align with my expectations. I wish it had more actionable insights.
