Food and finance: the financial transformation of agro-food supply chains (2014, background): “While there has been significant integration, both horizontally and vertically, within and along agro-food chains, fragmented family farms have predominated agricultural production (Heffernan 2000, Clapp 2012, Wheaton and Kiernan 2012).”
Geographical indications, terroir, and socioeconomic and ecological sustainability: The case of tequila (2009, background): “In general, agricultural production is becoming progressively more industrialized, and the increased scales of production that are required for technology adoption both require and facilitate the concentration and centralization of capital (Magdoff et al., 2000).”
Modifying Argentina: GM soy and socio-environmental change (2014, background): “In this way, Argentine agriculture resembles that of other large GM biotech adopters, such as the United States, as the number of farms and farmers shrinks, farm-scale expands, and control shifts increasingly to agribusinesses (Magdoff et al., 2000; Magdoff and Tokar, 2010).”
Avoiding the Local Trap (2006, background): “As so much research has shown, while these trends have increased crop yields in the aggregate, they also have increased injustice, environmental degradation, food insecurity, and oligarchical decision-making structures (Magdoff et al. 2000; Shiva 2000; Norberg-Hodge et al. 2002).”
Agrofuels in the food regime (2010, background): “Because of the uncoupling of urbanisation and industrialisation and its attendant socio-spatial consequences (Araghi 2000), the agrarian question becomes less about the classical question – whether depeasantisation strengthens proletarian organisation, and more about the casualisation of labour…”
Food crises, food regimes and food movements: rumblings of reform or tides of transformation? (2011, unknown): “Liberalism, neoliberalism and reform have been described as class projects (Harvey 2005, McMichael 2000, Polanyi 1941).”
Troubled futures? The global food crisis and the politics of agricultural derivatives regulation (2012, background): “This trend has been reinforced by increased corporate concentration and influence (Bonanno et al., 1994; Magdoff et al., 2000; Clapp and Fuchs, 2009) as well as international trade rules, particularly the WTO agriculture agreement (McMichael, 2000, 2005; Rosset, 2006; Weis, 2007).”
Food and Globalization (2006, background): “For some, the emergence of this new era was a “quiet revolution” (Schertz & Daft 1994); for many it was a threat (Magdoff et al. 2000) or outright piracy (Shiva 1997).”
