• Global Development and The Corporate Food Regime (2005, background): “Historically, the movement of capital involves the progressive subordination of agriculture, as an attempt to resolve agro-ecological crises stemming from the 'metabolic rift,' in a deepening of the rupture in nutrient cycling between countryside and city (Moore, 2000, p. 123).”
• Ecological Imperialism and the Global Metabolic Rift (2009, background): “In essence, the land was progressively mined until its relative exhaustion fettered profitability’ (Moore, 2000: 124).”
• The end of the road?: agricultural revolutions in the capitalist World-ecology, 1450-2010 (2010, background): “…perspective of capitalism as ‘world-ecology’, and as a historical formation that has emerged and developed, through successive periods of restructuring and renovation, since the long sixteenth century, c. 1450–1640 (Wallerstein 1974; Arrighi 1994; Moore 2000, 2003a–c, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010a,b).”
• Zero-Sum World (2009, background): “(Clark and York, 2005; Moore, 2000), some parts of which are ecologically impover ished while other parts are smothered with garbage, air and water pollution, and other forms of material overload (Hornborg, 2003).”
• A food regime genealogy (2009, unknown): “As Moore ( 2000 ) notes, the metabolic rift underlies the historic spatial separation between countryside and city, as agriculture industrialises.”
• ECOLOGY, CAPITAL, AND THE NATURE OF OUR TIMES: ACCUMULATION & CRISIS IN THE CAPITALIST WORLD-ECOLOGY (2011, background): “First, world-systems analysts have shed light on the ways that biophysical transformations have enabled accumulation, and capitalist development as a whole (Foster 1994; Moore 2000a).”
• Agrofuels in the food regime (2010, background): “The additional emissions produce side effects, or ‘externalities’, which are 14See for example, Foster (2000), Moore (2000), Clark and York (2005), McMichael (2008) and Wittman (2009). now acknowledged in the scientific community.”
• Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Urban Metabolism (2012, unknown): “From a world systems perspective, the rising costs of ecological exploitation that result from capitalist expansion have led to the repeated reorganization of the world ecology and a metabolic rift—between countries, and between rural and urban areas—that over time has widened and deepened (Moore 20”
