Big Data in food and agriculture (2016, background): “…in food and agriculture not only builds on critical data studies but it also extends food studies scholarship, which has historically focused on the eﬀects of technologies on farmers and food systems (Clapp, 2012; Friedmann, 2009; Friedmann and McMichael, 1987; Koc et al., 2012; McMichael, 2009).”
Is There an Agrarian Question in the 21st Century? (2006, background): “…an interpretation within the framework of la longue dude, see the remarkable historical political economy of "international food regimes" of Harriet Friedmann (2004); on current agricultural export commodity/value chains, and their wider determinants in processes of globalization, see Gibbon and…”
Resistance strategies and diversification of rural livelihoods: the construction of autonomy among Brazilian family farmers (2010, background): “…DOI: 10.1080/03066151003595168 http://www.informaworld.com While rural areas face new and increasing constraints imposed by ‘food empires’1 (Ploeg 2008, Friedmann 1993, 2004), new alternatives have been created, allowing farmers to react to the control of the big players in global value chains.”
The meat of the global food crisis (2013, background): “World food security has increasingly come to pivot on the cheap surpluses of the industrial grain–oilseed–livestock complex, which rests upon a precarious biophysical foundation and an illusion of efficiency (Friedmann 1993, 2005, Weis 2007).”
The food crisis, industrialized farming and the imperial regime. (2010, background): “These new linkages allow for an enormous accumulation of wealth (Friedmann 2004) and at the same time introduce huge downward pressures in other spaces.”
From Colonialism to Green Capitalism: Social Movements and Emergence of Food Regimes (2005, background): “At the first World Food Summit governments declared an ‘‘inalienable right to be free from hunger and malnutrition,’’ and committed themselves to achieving this right universally by 1984 (FAO, 1996; Friedmann, 2004).”
Agrarian political economy and modern world capitalism: the contributions of food regime analysis (2016, background): “Subsequent elaborations of the second food regime have termed it variously ‘the surplus regime, 1947–72’ (Friedmann 1993), ‘the mercantile-industrial food regime’ (Friedmann 2004) and the ‘US-centered intensive food regime’ (McMichael 2013, 32–38).”
Power and property: commercialization, enclosures, and the transformation of agrarian relations in Ethiopia (2012, background): “…to drive Ethiopian farmers into the neoliberal race to the bottom, reproducing a wider global pattern of the last fifty years in which the exports of the heavily subsidized agro-industries of the global north have ruined smallholder production in the global south (Friedmann 2005, McMichael 2005).”
Global Development and The Corporate Food Regime (2005, background): “Here, U.S. détente with the Soviet Union was marked by massive U.S. grain shipments to the Soviet Union, opening the door to an escalating trade war with Europe in commercial food exporting (Friedmann, 2005, pp. 132–133).”
The peasantries of the twenty-first century: the commoditisation debate revisited (2010, background): “This discussion also has important political implications, highlighting the importance of the peasantry as a, if not the main, countervailing power to global agriculture’s dangerous tendency for ‘feeding the empire’ (Friedmann 2004).”
