About this product
Product Information
This book analyzes global economic policies that impact rural communities, land use, food sovereignty and environmental justice. Mendonça traces the global contours of contemporary agriculture, bringing a critical analysis of the origins of agribusiness in the US and its subsequent international signature. The investigation reveals that the industrialization of agriculture was a result of a dialectical movement of economic crisis and expansion, and her analysis sheds new light on current debates about food sovereignty, agriculture technologies, international financial markets and farmland speculation. Mendonça challenges the established contemporary discourse regarding the contribution that agribusiness makes to economic development. Industrialization of agriculture demands increasing amounts of credit for capital inputs, which are captured by agribusiness corporations, leading to market concentration. For those who are new to the study of agribusiness, this book provides a clear introduction to global trends. For those more engaged, it serves as a valuable overview, an excellent text for students involved in studies of agriculture and food sovereignty.

Reviews
The Political Economy of Agribusiness by Maria Luisa Mendonça is a brilliantly written small book about a huge issue confronting humanity: agribusiness - and how it causes social problems such as land grabbing, inequality and exploitation, and provokes resistance. It is a must-read for academics and activists alike., The concept of 'agronegócio' is not just a translation of 'agribusiness' to Portuguese. It has been a political construction, based on a narrative of modern technology, appropriation of public resources, and concentration of land and wealth. Mendonça's book critically explores this historical construction in dialogue with Political Economy and Critical Agrarian Studies. A piece worth reading to better understand inequality, injustice, power relations, monopoly of wealth, but also social resistances and land struggles in contemporary Brazil.
