This book asks how we are to understand the relationship between capitalism and the environment
capitalism and food and capitalism and social resistance. These questions come together to
form a study of food regimes and the means by which capitalism organises both the environment
and people to provision its distinctive system of ever-expanding consumption with
food.Political Ecology Food Regimes and Food Sovereignty explores whether there are
environmental limits to capitalism and its economic growth by addressing the ongoing and
inter-linked crises of food fossil fuels and finance. It also considers its political limits
as the globally burgeoning 'precariat' peasants and indigenous people resist the further
commodification of their livelihoods.This book draws from the field of Political Ecology to
approach new ways of analysing capitalism the environment and resistance and also to propose
new solutions to the current agro-ecological-economic crisis. It will be of particular interest
to students and academics of Environmental Sociology Human Geography and Environmental
Geography.
