Power and property: commercialization, enclosures, and the transformation of agrarian relations in Ethiopia (2012, background): “…systems has been no less draconian, dismantling national agricultural programs and eliminating subsidies to smallholders that has accelerated ‘de-peasantization and legitimized a wholesale conversion of the global south into a ‘‘world farm’’’ (McMichael 2009, 287, cf Akram Lodhi et al. 2007).”
Exploring European food system vulnerabilities: Towards integrated food security governance (2017, background): “However, how well current food systems fulfil this objective remains a contested and highly politicized issue (Ericksen, 2008b; McMichael, 2009).”
The neoliberal food regime in Latin America: state, agribusiness transnational corporations and biotechnology (2012, background): “…which was created primarily by the presence of new economic actors in agriculture: finance capital in agricultural-futures markets and the US and EU public policies geared to expand the production of agrofuels, which divert land from food production (Bello 2009; McMichael 2009; Otero, forthcoming).”

How should barriers to alternative fuels and vehicles be classified and potential policies to promote innovative technologies be evaluated (2012, background): “For example, biofuel mandates and subsidies introduced in the US following the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and in the EU with Directive 2003/30/EC (“the Biofuels Directive”) gave rise to a media furore following reports of food price rises, which led to the so-called „tortilla riots‟ in Mexico (McMich”
