Résumé

Book Review of Finance or Food? The role of cultures, values, and ethics in land use negotiations, Hilde Bjorkhaug, Philip McMichael, and Bruce Muirhead.

We have today a highly capitalized and complex agricultural system that contorts the global food system into a collection of financialized assets to be bought and sold, traded and swapped—a food system within which food has become an ancillary afterthought. The important collection of essays in Finance or Food? looks at the kinds of values that have influenced investment decisions over land since the 2008 food crisis.
