"This book offers a wide selection of contributions presented at the LV Conference of Italian society of agricultural economics (SIDEA) Studies. Agricultural economists and sociologists reflect on the change processes that are affecting the agri-food systems and take a small step towards an improved understanding of the complexity of green metamorphosis, and the interplay between agriculture, food and ecology. The key message is that a green metamorphosis has been taking place, increasingly involving more and more aspects and dimensions: from environment to consumers' preferences, from social value to human health, from profitability to governance issues. Furthermore, this book tries to shed a light on the complexity of the new agricultural paradigm, which involves technology as well as traditions, trying to understand the ongoing metamorphosis taking into account that 'nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed'. This volume intends to guide the new generations of agricultural economists, who have the hard task of leading the green metamorphosis across the four main axes of sustainability: economic, socio-cultural, environmental, and political."--Back cover

Sustainability of the Food System: Sovereignty, Waste, and Nutrients Bioavailability addresses the concept of global sustainability, focusing on three key areas of action within the food production system: food sovereignty, environmentally friendly food processes, and food technologies that increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. The book defines key concepts in the food production system and provides examples of specific and tailored actions that contribute to global sustainability. Sustainability of the Food System: Sovereignty, Waste, and Nutrients Bioavailability will serve as a welcomed resource for food scientists and technologists, agriculturists, agronomic engineers, food engineers, environmental technologists, nutritionists, and post-graduate students studying bioresource technology and sustainability. --

"Farming Inside Invisible Worlds argues that the farm is a key player in the creation and stabilisation of political, economic and ecological power-particularly in colonised landscapes like New Zealand, America and Australia. The book reviews and rejects the way that farms are characterised in orthodox economics and agricultural science and then shows how re-centring the farm using the theoretical idea of political ontology can transform the way we understand the power of farming. Starting with the colonial history of farms in New Zealand, Hugh Campbell goes on to describe the rise of modernist farming and its often hidden political, racial and ecological effects. He concludes with an examination of alternative ways to farm in New Zealand, showing how the prior histories of colonisation and modernisation reveal important ways to farm differently in post-colonial worlds. Hugh Campbell's book has-ranging implications for understanding the role farms play in both our food systems and landscapes, and is an exciting new addition to food studies."--

"THE GOVERNMENT OF BEANS is a multispecies ethnography on the proliferation of the vast soybean monocrop in Paraguay and its ensuing effects on the government, agriculture, population, and environment. As Kregg Hetherington shows, soy monocropping, which was expanding at an average of 200,000 square hectares per year at the turn of the twenty-first century, has consumed most of Paraguay's arable land, contributing to rising inequity, poor health, deforestation, and climate change. The book highlights the failed attempts by campesinos, NGOs, and the government to contain the soy monocrops. Hetherington largely focuses on a group of activist bureaucrats, which he refers to as the Government of Beans, who from 2008-2012 tested the hypothesis that a stronger state, empowered to intervene in the excesses of the soy industry, would be able to slow down the advance of agribusiness interests, and thereby help to promote rural welfare and environmental health. These activist bureaucrats failed in their attempts, and Hetherington shows that what happened in Paraguay has profound global significance. The book is divided into three parts. Part I: A Cast of Characters presents backstories of the critical actors-- including individuals, plants, government agencies, and political coalitions-- that made up the Government of Beans. This section explores the challenges in defining an adequate temporality for regulation, since the growth of the monocrop was in itself very unpredictable. Part II: The Government of Beans tells the story of how the Government of Beans attempted and failed to change the way the Paraguayan state regulated its agricultural sector and the tensions that ensued in the process. More specifically, the regulations implemented by the Government of Beans failed to predict certain outcomes, such as how they would be individually implemented by farmers as well as the rapidity and effects of the growing soy, which seemed to have a life of its own. The actions of the Government of Beans were thus always experimental in nature, hoping for better outcomes and a better future with no guarantee about the effects. Part III: The Long Green Revolution offers a genealogical look at the way the intensification of agriculture has always implicated state actors. Developing a theory of "agribiopolitics," this section calls for a better understanding about the intimate, but rarely theorized, political relationship between human health and plant health, and a reflection on why welfare policies and ecological modernism are insufficient frames to work our way out of environmental destruction. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in anthropology, geography, Latin American studies, and environmental studies"--

"Biodiversity refers to the variety of species and the habitats on which they depend. More intensive, monocultural agriculture has been associated with a decline in diversity of habitat and plant species which leads to corresponding declines in diversity of insect, bird and mammal species. There is mounting evidence that a more biodiverse landscape improves ecosystem services which benefits farmers. This collection summarises the wealth of research on ways of improving biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, with a focus on temperate agriculture. The first part of this volume assesses general issues such as ways reconciling agricultural production and biodiversity in grassland management. It also reviews landscape approaches to biodiversity conservation, mapping and modelling biodiversity as well as assessing the economic value of biodiversity conservation practices. Part 2 reviews management practices promoting biodiversity such as field margins, hedgerows, the role of agroecological practices such as Conservation Agriculture, as well as improved pasture management and agroforestry."
