Over the last decade there has been renewed interest in food
security and the state of the global food system. Population
growth, climate change and food price spikes have combined to focus
new attention on the technologies and institutions that underpin
the production and consumption of food that is varied, nutritious
and safe. Knowledge politics within development-oriented agronomy
set the stage for some models of agricultural development to be
favoured over others, with very real implications for the food
security and wellbeing of many millions of people. Agronomy for
Development demonstrates how the analysis of knowledge politics can
shed valuable new light on current debates about agricultural
development and food security. Using bio-physical and social
sciences perspectives to address the political economy of the
production and use of knowledge in development, this edited
collection reflects on the changing politics of knowledge within
the field of agronomy and the ways in which these politics feed and
reflect the interests of a broad set of actors. This book is aimed
at professionals working in agricultural research as well as
students and practitioners of agricultural, rural and international
development.
