• How not to think of land-grabbing: three critiques of large-scale investments in farmland (2011, background): “It is neither possible nor necessary here to present a detailed argument about agrarian reform (among major contributions, see Banerjee et al. 1998, Griffin et al. 2002, El-Ghonemy 2003, Borras et al. 2007, Penciakova 2010).”
• rethinking agricultural production collectivities (2010, background): “See also Griffin et al (2002) on redistributive land reform and the critique of their approach by Byres (2004) and others in the Journal of Agrarian Change 2004, 4 (1-2).”
• The new enclosures: critical perspectives on corporate land deals (2012, background): “This has its origins in the debates between Marxists and agrarian populists (Lenin 1960 [1899], Chayanov 1966 [1925], Kautsky 1988 [1899]) which have framed much of the critical agrarian studies and research in the 1970s-80s, including the urban versus rural bias debate between Byres and Lipto”
• Land, farming, livelihoods, and poverty: Rethinking the links in the Rural South (2006, background): “In contrast to the position adopted by Griffin et al. (2002), this paper argues that redistributive land reform does not, in the main, offer a solution to rural poverty, for two reasons.”
• Beyond Industrial Agriculture? Some Questions about Farm Size, Productivity and Sustainability (2010, background): “…high, the investment pattern of smaller farms is more ‘socially optimal’ © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd (Ellis 1988) or provides higher ‘Total Factor Productivity’ (Griffin et al. 2002), because it maximizes use of a cheaper factor (labour), rather than more expensive factors (capital and land).”
