Paperback. Condition: New. What is agribusiness? When did it emerge? In answering these questions, Mendonça traces the global contours of contemporary agriculture, bringing a critical analysis of the origins of agribusiness in the United States and its subsequent international signature. The investigation of historical dynamics reveals that the industrialization of agriculture was a result of a dialectical movement of economic crisis and expansion. This 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.

For those more engaged it serves as a valuable overview, an excellent text for students involved in studies of agriculture and food sovereignty.…
