'Cogently underscores the global threat of financialisation to family farming, identifying possibilities for peasant mobilisation to protect land, food and society. It breathes new life and meaning into the agrarian question.' -- Professor Philip McMichael, Cornell University, author of Food Regimes and Agrarian Questions (2013) 'With historically unprecedented hunger sitting side by side with historically unprecedented obesity, it is apparent that the world food system is broken. As a result, around the world peasants and family farmers are struggling to construct a new, socially just, food system that cools the planet and feeds the world.' -- Haroon Akram-Lodhi, Professor, Department of International Development Studies, Trent University, Canada

It complements extant food sovereignty analyses, breathing new life and meaning into the agrarian question. -- Professor Philip McMichael, Cornell University, author of Food Regimes and Agrarian Questions (2013)
