This volume explores the contents, forms, and actors that
characterize current opposition to the corporate neoliberal
agri-food regime. Designed to generate a coherent, informed and
updated analysis of resistance in agri-food, empirical and
theoretical contributions analyze the relationship between
expressions of the neoliberal corporate system and various projects
of opposition. Contributions included in the volume probe
established forms and rationales of resistance including civic
agriculture, consumer- and community-based initiatives, labor,
cooperative and gender-based protest, struggles in opposition to
land grabbing and mobilization of environmental science and
ecological resistance. The core contribution of the volume is to
theorize and to empirically assess the limits and contradictions
that characterize these forms of resistance. In particular, the
hegemonic role of the neoliberal ideology and the ways in which it
has 'captured' processes of resistance are illustrated. Through the
exploration of the tension between legitimate calls for
emancipation and the dominant power of Neoliberalism, the book
contributes to the ongoing debate on the strengths and limits of
Neoliberalism in agri-food. It also engages critically with the
outputs and potential outcomes of established and emerging
resistance movements, practices, and concepts.
