4.9/5 (33620 ratings)

Description: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 agricultural development to be favoured over others, with very real implications for the food security and well-being 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 professions working in agricultural research as well as students and practitioners of agricultural, rural and international development.　We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
