Green economy and carbon markets for conservation and development: a critical view (2016, background): “…of the global economy and rising prices of many food, fiber, and mineral commodities, forests and swamps are being reconceptualized as carbon sinks and peasant farm lands repurposed as biofuel and export-crop plantations (Akram-Lodhi 2012; Fairhead et al. 2012; Li 2010; Moore 2010).”
Greening Capitalism? A Marxist Critique of Carbon Markets (2012, methodology): “As capitalism reforms and changes itself, however, new configurations of accumulation and legitimation are revealed (Marx & Engels, 1964; Marx, 1976, 1981), including new relations to nature and the environment (Moore, 2010).”
EU criteria for sustainable biofuels: accounting for carbon, depoliticising plunder (2013, background): “More generally, capital accumulation has depended upon ‘the endless commodification of human and extra-human nature’ (Moore, 2010: 391).”
New investment, old challenges. Land deals and the water constraint in African agriculture (2012, background): “…is nested within a broader narrative of an impending crisis in modern agriculture, which draws on well-documented negative impacts of input-intensive commercial agriculture on biodiversity and water quality as evidence for underlying unsustainability and imminent crisis (Weis 2010, Moore 2010).”
The Capitalocene Part II: accumulation by appropriation and the centrality of unpaid work/energy (2018, background): “…where Old World crops were introduced – the Spaniards in colonial Peru loved wheat bread – the initial yields were extraordinarily high (an order of magnitude greater than the Europe average) and remained so for the first long wave of colonial domination (c. 1545–1640) (Super 1988; Moore 2010e).”
The meat of the global food crisis (2013, background): “…soil erosion; pest resistance to chemical treadmills; the over-pumping of underground aquifers; the approaching limits to the world’s supply of easy oil (or peak oil) and other key resources; and climate change (Pimentel 2006, IPCC 2007, Nellemann et al. 2008, Moore 2010, Weis 2010a, FAO 2011c).”
Beyond Industrial Agriculture? Some Questions about Farm Size, Productivity and Sustainability (2010, background): “…has been strongly associated with industrialization, driven partly by growth of new markets constituted by an urban and industrial workforce (see Moore 2010, this issue), and partly by the need to increase farm labour productivity as its growing cost and scarcity reflected increased demand for…”
Accumulation by Conservation (2014, background): “One of the most important of these for our paper is the relation between capitalism’s poor ecological record and the world-system currently experiencing a ‘signal crisis’ portending the potential transition from one accumulation cycle to another (see especially Arrighi 2009, Moore 2010, 2011).”
Agrarian political economy and modern world capitalism: the contributions of food regime analysis (2016, background): “…political economy of capitalist development, namely the price of staple foods and its effect for wage levels, the costs of reproduction of labour power, and the expenditure of variable capital and its effects for accumulation (see, inter alios, recent analyses by Araghi 2003; Moore 2010a, 2010b).”
ECOLOGY, CAPITAL, AND THE NATURE OF OUR TIMES: ACCUMULATION & CRISIS IN THE CAPITALIST WORLD-ECOLOGY (2011, methodology): “Dutch hegemony emerged through a world-ecological revolution that stretched from Canada to the spice islands of Southeast Asia; British hegemony, through the coal/steampower and plantation revolutions; American hegemony, through oil frontiers and the industrialization of agriculture it enabled.”
The land grab and corporate food regime restructuring (2012, background): “…it depends fundamentally on Northern subsidies to agribusiness, energy and transport companies, and Southern concessions to investors.21 Arguably, it does not appear that agrofuels themselves, and indeed biomass production in general, will resolve the accumulation crisis (Moore 2010, 497).”
Sustainable Capital? The Neoliberalization of Nature and Knowledge in the European “Knowledge-based Bio-economy” (2010, background): “), but also within a broader shift in ―ecological regime‖ [18,54].”
The Long Green Revolution (2013, background): “…of global seed supply has become increasingly concentrated, such that the top four companies control more than half the global proprietary seed supply (for more on concentration in industrial agriculture see, inter alia, ETC Group 2008, Bernstein 2010b, Moore 2010, Weis 2010, Wield et al. 2010).”
