About this product
Product Information
Food Systems in an Unequal World examines regulatory risk and how it translates to and impacts farmers in the agrochemical-dependent agriculture industry of Costa Rica. Ryan E. Galt shows how the food produced for domestic markets lacks regulation similar to that of export markets, creating a dangerous double standard of pesticide use. In seeking solutions, Galt argues for improved governance and research into alternative pest control but emphasizes that the process must be rooted in farmers' economic well-being.

Reviews
" Food Systems in an Unequal World forms a part of and provides an important critical moment within a new wave of scholarship that speaks to the rise of quality-defined national and international markets."--Tad Mutersbaugh, University of Kentucky, "Forms a part of and provides an important critical moment within a new wave of scholarship that speaks to the rise of quality-defined national and international markets."--Tad Mutersbaugh, University of Kentucky, "Offers an important contribution to the political ecology approach as it shifts political ecology's predominant focus on subsistence agriculture to a more industrialized agriculture practiced by small-scale family farmers."-- Economic Geography, "Diving into the large technical variability in pesticides may lead to tedious reading, but Galt succeeds extraordinarily well in introducing the reader to the material complexity of the issue, by explaining the technical aspects bit by bit without distracting the reader from the larger story." --The AAG Review of Books, "One of the major contributions of Food Systems in an Unequal World is the concept of regulatory risk and how that is translated to farmers. Filtering the regulatory risk to the field is good geography and laudable."--Brad Jokisch, Ohio University, "Forms a part of and provides an important critical moment within a new wave of scholarship that speaks to the rise of quality-defined national and international markets."--Tad Mutersbaugh, University of Kentucky

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
