Description
Contested Agronomy: Exploring the Impact of Neoliberalism and Environmental Agendas on Agricultural Research. The dramatic increases in food prices over the last four years have highlighted the need for a more nuanced understanding of agricultural research. This book explores key developments since the mid-1970s, focusing on the emergence of neoliberalism and its impact on agronomic practice. It also examines the rise of environmental agendas and their effects on agricultural research in developing countries. Through case studies, Contested Agronomy sheds light on the complex relationships between problem framing, narratives, historical disjunctures, epistemic communities, and the pressure to demonstrate success. This analysis is essential for understanding the current state of agricultural research and its relevance to policy, development, and environmental issues. Suitable for professionals in agriculture and environmental sciences, as well as students and researchers in related fields, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges facing agronomic research in today's world.
