This book explores the shifting relations of food provisioning in
Turkey from a comparative global political economy perspective. It
offers in-depth ethnographic analysis, interviews and historical
insights into the ambiguities and diversities that simultaneously
affect the changing conditions of food and agriculture in Turkey.
Specific issues examined include the commodification of land, food
and labour; the expansion and deepening of industrial
standardization; the expansion of a supermarket model; and
concomitant changes in, as well as the simultaneous co-existence
of, traditional methods of production and marketing. Contrasting
observations are drawn from diverse locales to provide examples of
convergence, divergence and cohabitation in relation to
transnationally advocated industrial models. Commodification of
Global Agrifood Systems and Agro-Ecology employs a form of
comparative perspective that allows the particular processes of
restructuring of agrifood relations in Turkey to be simultaneously
distinguished from, yet related to, changes taking place in global
power dynamics. Yildiz Atasoy explores agrifood transformation in
Turkey with a unique approach that considers a plurality of
intertwined normative influences, ontological beliefs,
cultural-religious narratives, political struggles and
critical-interpretive positions. Based on original research, the
book treats changes in food provisioning as an analytical thread
capable of uncovering how the normative acceptability of
capitalized agriculture and techno-scientific innovation is
entangled with processes of class formation, growing
inter-capitalist competition and Islamic politics. Such processes,
in turn, frame income/wealth generation, landscape management,
agro-ecological dynamics and labour practices, as well as the taste
and smell of place.
