This open access book develops a framework for advancing
agroecology transformations focusing on power, politics and
governance. It explores the potential of agroecology as a
sustainable and socially just alternative to today's dominant food
regime. Agroecology is an ecological approach to farming that
addresses climate change and biodiversity loss while contributing
to the Sustainable Development Goals. Agroecology transformations
represent a challenge to the power of corporations in controlling
food system and a rejection of the industrial food systems that are
at the root of many social and ecological ills. In this book the
authors analyse the conditions that enable and disable
agroecology's potential and present six 'domains of transformation'
where it comes into conflict with the dominant food system. They
argue that food sovereignty, community-self organization and a
shift to bottom-up governance are critical for the transformation
to a socially just and ecologically viable food system. This book
will be a valuable resource to researchers, students, policy makers
and professionals across multidisciplinary areas including in the
fields of food politics, international development, sustainability
and resilience.
