This book is ideal for academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in anthropology, economics, business, management, and geography with an interest in global agri-food networks and commodity chains. It serves as a valuable reference for university libraries and those studying globalisation in food systems.

Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of anthropologists, economists, business and management academics and geographers, this book examines a wide range of case studies illustrating various agri-food commodity chains and networks around the world and discusses how they link globally.

Description

Within the international agri-food community at least four theoretical targets are attracting increasing attention. They are:

(1) The established notions of networks and commodity chains that are being revisited by way of critical engagement informed by the insights of in-depth empirical work.

(2) The metrics of calculation and institutional embedding that underpin the rise and functionality of governance technologies.

(3) The place of regional networking in creating conditions that make possible agri-food producer participation in local provisioning and supply.

(4) The geo-historical dimensions of interconnection and interdependency in the agri-food sphere.

Agri-Food Commodity Chains and Globalising Networks brings together an interdisciplinary team of anthropologists, economists, business and management academics and geographers to examine a wide range of case studies. These illustrate various agri-food commodity chains and networks around the world and discuss how they link globally.
