What owns the land: the corporate organization of farmland investment
Loka Ashwood John Canfield Madeleine Fairbairn Kathryn De Master
Abstract：Novel investment vehicles continue to dominate discussions of the financial entities driving the global land rush. However, less attention has been devoted to the mundane elements of such investment, primarily the corporate structure that undergirds it. Using US public records, our analysis reveals how absentee and complex corporate structures enable the financialization of farmland. While the latest farmland investment has the fresh face of the who, such as private equity funds, we conclude that the what of its corporate skeleton is older, calling for dialogue between studies of corporate organization, landownership, and financialization.
Shifting frontiers: the making of Matopiba in Brazil and global redirected land use and control change
Daniela Calmon
Abstract：There are not fixed conditions that make potential agricultural frontiers attractive to capital: different spaces and strategies are chosen in relation to previous failed experiments, including those strongly contested by social movements. Socio-environmental contestations can also inadvertently result in negative spillovers, or a kind of indirect land use change. I propose a concept of redirected land use and control change for cases with strategic adaptations by promoters of frontiers. I suggest three dimensions of adaptations – across spaces, political-administrative regimes and in forms of land appropriation – to apprehend the multi-scale politics of land grabbing, through the case of Matopiba in Brazil.
Coalitions for land grabbing in wartime: state, paramilitaries and elites in Colombia
Jenniffer Vargas Reina
Abstract：This analysis considers two contrasting trajectories of coercive and illegal land accumulation across two northern Colombian municipalities in wartime. Together they reveal how the state established strategic alliances of indirect rule with paramilitaries, local elites and non-local investors. In return, these groups gained access to institutions and incentives, using them to undertake processes of massive and rapid land accumulation. How these strategies of indirect rule interact with the agrarian structures of the rural territories – as well as the changing dynamics of war – is crucial to understanding the varying patterns of land accumulation seen in contexts affected by protracted armed conflict.
From resolving land disputes to agrarian justice – dealing with the structural crisis of plantation agriculture in eastern DR Congo
Mathijs van Leeuwen Gillian Mathys Lotje de Vries Gemma van der Haar
Abstract：Land disputes in conflict-affected settings are often considered as a security threat, to be addressed through mediation and strengthening the rule of law. This overlooks the roots of land conflicts in longer-term processes of agrarian development and worsening conditions of land and labour access. A case-study of a dispute between former plantation labourers and concession holders in eastern DR Congo shows mediation's incapacity to counter perceived structural injustices in land access and difficulties in making a living. While dispute resolution may temporarily calm down tensions, it cannot substitute for fundamental political choices vis-a-vis wider questions of agrarian development and justice.
Women, wellbeing and Wildlife Management Areas in Tanzania
Katherine Homewood Martin Reinhardt Nielsen Aidan Keane
Abstract：Community-based wildlife management claims pro-poor, gender-sensitive outcomes. However, intersectional political ecology predicts adverse impacts on marginalised people. Our large-scale quantitative approach draws out common patterns and differentiated ways women are affected by Tanzania’s Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). This first large-scale, rigorous evaluation studies WMA impacts on livelihoods and wellbeing of 937 married women in 42 villages across six WMAs and matched controls in Northern and Southern Tanzania. While WMAs bring community infrastructure benefits, most women have limited political participation, and experience resource use restrictions and fear of wildlife attacks. Wealth and region are important determinants, with the poorest worst impacted.
‘‘Amnarjaʿ la wara (We are going backwards)’: Economic Reform and the politics of labour in agrarian Syria
Sarkis Fernández
Abstract：Drawing upon ethnographic research conducted in Syria between 2008 and 2011, this article explores the consequences of policies of economic reform and market liberalisation for agrarian relations of production in two different but interlinked agrarian contexts. The theoretical discussion of Marx's concept of subsumption is used as both a point of departure and arrival in the analysis. From this perspective, the Economic Reform emerges as a hegemonic project of rescaling and of reconstituting the subsumption of labour. This involved both a process of devaluation of agrarian work and workers' livelihoods, and of their disempowerment through the reorganisation of the state.
Food sovereignty and farmer suicides: bridging political ecologies of health and education
David Meek Ashlesha Khadse
Abstract：Rates of farmer suicides are skyrocketing among agrarian societies. We analyze the role of Zero-Budget Natural Farming as a form of grassroots intervention in this crisis. Leaders of an Indian agrarian social movement known as the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha argue that educating farmers about Zero-Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) has the potential to improve financial autonomy, mitigate the farmer suicide problem, and ultimately contribute to food sovereignty. Synthesizing insights from the political ecologies of health and education, our analysis suggests that farmers' livelihoods are more resilient following their transition to ZBNF, and that their wellbeing is improved.
Food sovereignty, gender and everyday practice: the role of Afro-Colombian women in sustaining localised food systems
Katherine L. Turner C. Julián Idrobo Annette Aurélie Desmarais Ana Maria Peredo
Abstract：While social and political movements are the scale of action most often identified with food sovereignty-related struggles, everyday provisioning practices are critical for sustaining the distinctiveness and relative autonomy of localised food systems. We examine gendered provisioning in a Colombian, Afro-descendent community as a case study of how food sovereignty is enacted in daily life. Women's everyday food provisioning practices nourish households, sustain socio-cultural and ecological relationships, and maintain greater self-sufficiency within market economy integration processes. Deeper analysis of gendered provisioning highlights complexities, power relationships and challenges within localised food systems and refines understandings of gender dimensions of food sovereignty.
The other frontier: forest rush and small-scale timbermen of postsocialist Transylvania
Monica Vasile
Abstract：This article examines the postsocialist timber rush of the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania, from the perspective of the frontier. Drawing on long-term anthropological fieldwork, it follows life-trajectories of timbermen and politicians to reveal the grassroots dynamics of timber production, trade relationships and political control of resources emerged in the last three decades. The paper unpicks the conjuncture of an area in the Apuseni Mountains, which diverged from the trajectories of other Romanian mountain communities. Here small-scale forestry thrived and large enterprises did not take hold, preventing dispossession and proletarization. A politics of patronage protected small-scale operators.
‘Murderous energy’ in Oaxaca, Mexico: wind factories, territorial struggle and social warfare
Alexander Dunlap Martín Correa Arce
Abstract：This article examines the struggle against the new Électricité de France (EDF) wind park, Gunaa Sicarú, in Unión Hidalgo (UH), Mexico. Foregrounding Indigenous land defense, the article refers to wind energy as ‘wind factories’ to discuss agrarian change in the region. Revealing the counterinsurgency colonial model as a foundational approach to extractive development, the article argues that the distribution of money, Sicarios (hitmen) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are instrumental to engineering ‘social acceptance’. Moreover, the liberalism underlining NGOs, if not careful, advances processes of infrastructural colonization and, consequently, wider trajectories of (neo)colonialism.
