    Open Access•Olga Domené Painenao, Olga Domené-Painenao et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Perspectives•2024•References: 21

    In the face of the devastating implementation of corporative agri-food systems, processes of re-territorialization driven by agroecology, such as peasant resistance, become particularly relevant. In this article, we examine the history of the organization La Alianza (The Alliance) in Lara, Venezuela from 1975 to 2020, as narrated by its members, and using the methodology of the systematization of experiences. Based on the analytical categories of…

  • Conceptions and Practices of Autonomy among Indigenous and Peasant Movements in Latin America

    Open Access•Lia Pinheiro-Barbosa, Lia Pinheiro Barbosa et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Perspectives•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 23

    This paper seeks to categorize the forms of autonomy developed by Indigenous and peasant movements in Latin America into three types: a) de jure autonomies versus de facto autonomies; b) explicit autonomies versus implicit autonomies; and c) (mono)ethnic autonomies versus popular or class autonomies. We argue that the debate between these conceptions takes on a possible strategic importance when it comes to the dialogue between Indigenous and pea…

  • Emancipatory agroecologies: Social and Political Principles

    Omar Felipe Giraldo, Peter M Rosset•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2023•Cited by: 22•References: 57

    We examine how the policies of governments and the projects of international agencies and many NGOs strip agroecology of its emancipatory potential. Adhering to the conventional logic of development, they reinforce or create dependencies, individualize communities, convert use values into exchange values, incorporate peoples into hierarchical structures of domination, promote the belief that peoples must be saved from poverty through the interven…

  • Peasant Resilience: Decolonization and Re-conceptualization

    Open Access•Teresita Santiago Vera, Peter M Rosset et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Justice•2021

    The objective of this article is to re-read and take initial steps toward decolonizing the concept of resilience from a peasant perspective. Resilience has origins in the Western, Cartesian, and capitalist paradigms, and we examine the concept from a peasant world partially situated outside of capitalist social relations. In conventional usage, resilience signifies “returning to the previous state after disturbance,” yet for those not favored by …

  • Critical Latin American agroecology as a regionalism from below

    Peter M Rosset, Lia Pinheiro-Barbosa et al.•ARTICLE•Globalizations•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 12

    Latin America has long been a hot bed for social movement organization and innovation, and for dialogue among different types of knowledge (‘dialogo de saberes’). This has included dialog between academic knowledges framed by Western science, popular and ancestral peoples knowledges and wisdoms, and so-called critical thought from global and Latin American revolutionary traditions. From these conditions, we postulate that a specifically Latin Ame…

  • Zero Budget Natural Farming in India - from inception to institutionalization

    Open Access•Ashlesha Khadse, Peter M Rosset•ARTICLE•Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente•2021

    This paper delineates the growth of Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) in India. From its origins as a peasant-led social movement in the state of Karnataka, to becoming institutionalized in a state program in Andhra Pradesh, ZBNF is attaining scale and reaching more and more peasant families. We look at some of the key factors that have triggered ZBNFs growth, as well as highlight some of the challenges and contradictions that may arise in the i…

  • Bringing agroecology to scale: Key drivers and emblematic cases

    Mateo Mier Y Terán Giménez Cacho, Omar Felipe Giraldo et al.•ARTICLE•Agroecology and Sustainable Food…•2018

    Agroecology as a transformative movement has gained momentum in many countries worldwide. In several cases, the implementation of agroecological practices has grown beyond isolated, local experiences to be employed by ever-greater numbers of families and communities over ever-larger territories and to engage more people in the processing, distribution, and consumption of agroecologically produced food. To understand the nonlinear, multidimensiona…

  • Urban transition toward food sovereignty

    In cities throughout the world, people are taking steps to develop just, sustainable alternatives to the dominant food system. These initiatives pose questions which, to be answered, require new theoretical approaches. This study makes use of Marx's concepts of ‘social metabolism’ and ‘metabolic rift’, as well as Altvater's analysis of forms of capitalist appropriation, in order to understand how current society-nature relationships have given wa…

  • La Vía Campesina: The Birth and Evolution of a Transnational Social Movement

    María Elena Martínez-Torres, Peter M Rosset•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2010•Cited by: 174•References: 33

    The origin and evolution of the transnational peasant movement La Vía Campesina is analysed through five evolutionary stages. In the 1980s the withdrawal of the state from rural areas simultaneously weakened corporativist and clientelist control over rural organisations, even as conditions worsened in the countryside. This gave rise to a new generation of more autonomous peasant organisations, who saw the origins of their similar problems as larg…

    Peter M Rosset, Braulio Machín Sosa et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2011•Cited by: 118•References: 26

    Agroecology has played a key role in helping Cuba survive the crisis caused by the collapse of the socialist bloc in Europe and the tightening of the US trade embargo. Cuban peasants have been able to boost food production without scarce and expensive imported agricultural chemicals by first substituting more ecological inputs for the no longer available imports, and then by making a transition to more agroecologically integrated and diverse farm…

    The transnational rural social movement La Vía Campesina has been critically sustained and shaped by the encounter and diálogo de saberes (dialog among different knowledges and ways of knowing) between different rural cultures (East, West, North and South; peasant, indigenous, farmer, pastoralist and rural proletarian, etc.) that takes place within it, in the context of the increasingly politicized confrontation with neoliberal reality and agribu…

  • Agroecology as a territory in dispute: Between Institutionality and Social Movements

    Omar Felipe Giraldo, Peter M Rosset•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2018•Cited by: 80•References: 24

    Agroecology is in fashion, and now constitutes a territory in dispute between social movements and institutionality. This new conjuncture offers a constellation of opportunities that social movements can avail themselves of to promote changes in the food system. Yet there is an enormous risk that agroecology will be co-opted, institutionalized, colonized and stripped of its political content. In this paper, we analyze this quandary in terms of po…

  • Rural Social Movements and Agroecology: Context, Theory, and Process

    Open Access•Peter M Rosset, María Elena Martínez-Torres•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2012•Cited by: 45

    Rural social movements have in recent years adopted agroecology and diversified farming systems as part of their discourse and practice. Here, we situate this phenomenon in the evolving context of rural spaces that are increasingly disputed between agribusiness, together with other corporate land-grabbers, and peasants and their organizations and movements. We use the theoretical frameworks of disputed material and immaterial territories and of r…

  • Taking agroecology to scale: The Zero Budget Natural Farming peasant movement in Karnataka, India

    Ashlesha Khadse, Peter M Rosset et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2018•Cited by: 41•References: 28

    This paper analyzes how peasant movements scale up agroecology. It specifically examines Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), a grassroots peasant agroecology movement in Karnataka, India. ZBNF ends reliance on purchased inputs and loans for farming, positioning itself as a solution to extreme indebtedness and suicides among Indian farmers. The ZBNF movement has achieved massive scale not only because of effective farming practices, but because of…

  • Agroecology versus input substitution: A fundamental contradiction of sustainable agriculture

    Peter M Rosset, M A Altieri•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•1997•Cited by: 38•References: 1

    The central question posed by this essay is whether sustainable agriculture will be able to rescue modern industrial agriculture from its present state of crisis. To answer this question this article begins by outlining the economic, social, and ecological dimensions of the crisis, each of which must be addressed by an alternative paradigm in order to pull agriculture out of crisis. It then examines a persistent contradiction in the alternative a…

    The Spanish word formación can be translated as 'training' or 'education', but Latin American social movements use it as inspired by Che Guevara's notion of 'molding' the values of the new woman and new man for egalitarian, cooperative social relations in the construction of a 'new society'. This contribution presents findings on the dialectical linkages between the formación processes led by the Rural Workers' Association (ATC) and the gradual t…

    Industry and mainstream research and policy institutions often suggest that transgenic crop varieties can raise the productivity of poor third world farmers, feed the hungry, and reduce poverty. These claims are critically evaluated by examining global-hunger data, the constraints that affect the productivity of small farmers in the third world, and the factors that explain their poverty. No significant role is found for crop genetics in determin…

    The recent world food price crisis highlights what many have thought for a long time: the world's food and agriculture system is broken. Few winners remain in the aftermath of the severe crisis, in which prices for basic food commodities (corn, wheat, rice, soybeans) increased dramatically in 2007 and 2008, only to fall rapidly in the second half of 2008. Although down from their high points, commodity prices are still about double those of the e…

These claims are critically evaluated by examining global-hunger data, the constraints that affect the productivity of small farmers in the third world, and the factors that explain their poverty. No significant role is found for crop genetics in determin…

  • Food is Different: Why We Must Get the WTO Out of Agriculture

    Peter M Rosset•BOOK•Food is Different•2006

    Why does our global food system gives us expensive, unhealthy and bad-tasting food, where we pay more for packaging and long-distance shipping than we do for the food itself? Why do farmers and peasants from around the world lead massive protests each and every time the World Trade Organization meets? Peter Rosset explains how the runaway free trade policies and neoliberal economics of the WTO, American government and European Union kill farmers,…

  • Agrofuels, Food Sovereignty, and the Contemporary Food Crisis

    Open Access•Peter M Rosset, Peter Rosset•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Science Technology &…•2009

    In this article, agrofuels are examined in the context of the world food price crisis and the “food sovereignty” proposal for addressing the crisis. Both short- and long-term causes of the crisis are examined, and while agrofuels are presently not a prime causal factor they are clearly contraindicated by the crisis. Food sovereignty, including a moratorium on agrofuels, is argued to offer the best option for managing the crisis

  • Fixing our Global Food System: Food Sovereignty and Redistributive Land Reform

    Peter M Rosset, Peter Rosset•ARTICLE•Monthly Review•2009•Cited by: 4

    The recent world food price crisis highlights what many have thought for a long time: the world's food and agriculture system is broken. Few winners remain in the aftermath of the severe crisis, in which prices for basic food commodities (corn, wheat, rice, soybeans) increased dramatically in 2007 and 2008, only to fall rapidly in the second half of 2008. Although down from their high points, commodity prices are still about double those of the e…

  • La Vía Campesina: The Birth and Evolution of a Transnational Social Movement

    María Elena Martínez-Torres, Peter M Rosset•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2010•Cited by: 174•References: 33

    The origin and evolution of the transnational peasant movement La Vía Campesina is analysed through five evolutionary stages. In the 1980s the withdrawal of the state from rural areas simultaneously weakened corporativist and clientelist control over rural organisations, even as conditions worsened in the countryside. This gave rise to a new generation of more autonomous peasant organisations, who saw the origins of their similar problems as larg…

  • Participatory Democracy in Action: Practices of the Zapatistas and the Movimento Sem Terra

    Open Access•Amory Starr, María Elena Martínez-Torres et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Perspectives•2011•Cited by: 8•References: 24

    Participatory democracy has been studied as an auxiliary to state processes and as an institutional and cultural part of social movements. Studies of the use of participatory democracy by the Zapatistas of Mexico and the Movimento Sem Terra (Landless Movement-MST) of Brazil show a shared concern with autonomy, in particular avoidance of demobilization through the clientelism and paternalism induced by government programs and political parties. Bo…

  • TheCampesino-to-Campesinoagroecology movement of Anap in Cuba: Social Process Methodology in the Construction of Sustainable Peasant Agriculture and Food Sovereignty

    Peter M Rosset, Braulio Machín Sosa et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Peasant Studies•2011•Cited by: 118•References: 26

    Agroecology has played a key role in helping Cuba survive the crisis caused by the collapse of the socialist bloc in Europe and the tightening of the US trade embargo. Cuban peasants have been able to boost food production without scarce and expensive imported agricultural chemicals by first substituting more ecological inputs for the no longer available imports, and then by making a transition to more agroecologically integrated and diverse farm…

  • Rural Social Movements and Agroecology: Context, Theory, and Process

    Open Access•Peter M Rosset, María Elena Martínez-Torres•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2012•Cited by: 45

    Rural social movements have in recent years adopted agroecology and diversified farming systems as part of their discourse and practice. Here, we situate this phenomenon in the evolving context of rural spaces that are increasingly disputed between agribusiness, together with other corporate land-grabbers, and peasants and their organizations and movements. We use the theoretical frameworks of disputed material and immaterial territories and of r…
