Hydro-Authoritarianism: Mega-Engineering the (Semi-)Arid Regions of Central Eurasia and China
Conditional Freedoms: Non-State Labour in Cuba between Institutional Delegitimisation and Civic Recognition
During the height of its power over everyday life, between 1968 and 1993, the Cuban Communist Party outlawed virtually all non-state labour and exchange. Since then, however, its continuity in power has increasingly depended on devolution: shifting responsibility for the provision of basic goods and services from failing state enterprises back to the self-employed. The latter now produce the majority of food and basic products; receive most of th…
Imprecision farming? Examining the (in)accuracy and risks of digital agriculture
Fast Food Sovereignty: Contradiction in Terms or Logical Next Step
The growing academic literature on ‘food sovereignty’ has elaborated a food producer-driven vision of an alternative, more ecological food system rooted in greater democratic control over food production and distribution. Given that the food sovereignty developed with and within producer associations, a rural setting and production-side concerns have overshadowed issues of distribution and urban consumption. Yet, ideal types such as direct market…
Beyond the “special period”: Land reform, supermarkets and the prospects for peasant-driven food sovereignty in post-socialist Cuba (2008–2017)
When Cuba’s trade-based food security strategy was threatened by the collapse of the socialist trading block in 1989–1991, the popular response of small and irregular farmers proved vital in providing a minimum food basket during the ensuing crisis. In 2008, a large-scale land reform sought to expand this development towards food sovereignty. We evaluate the reform impacts, finding that after an initial surge in 2009–2010, food production and lan…
Operationalising food sovereignty through an investment lens: How agro-ecology is putting ‘big push theory’ back on the table
A central question in the current debate on food sovereignty concerns the concepts and approaches to assist and frame the operationalisation of its agendas for peasant-based agricultural development. Another is the search for inclusive methods and language to discuss these operational, ‘territorial’ agendas with potential constituents. This paper argues that both questions call for an investment lens, a complementary approach within food sovereig…
