The Financialization of Agri-Food Systems: Contested Transformations Bjorkhaug Hilde
Financialization is the increased influence of financial actors and logics on social and economic life, and is one of the key drivers transforming food systems and rural economies around the world. It is shown that although financialization is a powerful dynamic, some recent developments suggest that the rollout of financialization is contradictory and uneven in different spaces and markets. The premise of this book is that the actions of financial actors, and their financial logics, are transforming agri-food systems in profound ways.
The authors address not only the limits to The book examines cases in which state regulation or re-regulation and social movement resistance are setting roadblocks or speed bumps in the path of financialization, resulting in a 'cooling off' of investment, as well as the other side of the argument where there is evidence of a 'heating up'.
