The departure point of the new book is the need for critical and innovative studies to investigate the basis and consequences of the agriculture dualisms and risks unfolding at different scales and with complex repercussions for consumers, communities, ecosystems and national economies. The contributors will develop new theoretical points on agrarian and agroecological transformations that consider different stakeholder sectors and propose governance pathways and public policy reforms that can be constructed for facilitating sustainable, inclusive and fair processes of change. Political, economic and sociological critiques of agrifood dynamics have identified the intensification, specialisation, distancing, homogenisation and concentration of power as the key processes resulting in food insecurity and unsustainable outcomes. These trends have configured a placeless foodscape disconnected from diverse social demands and the ecological basis of distinct locations and countries. Moreover, transition studies have failed to effectively address the transformative potential of different types and combinations of biophysical, sociotechnical and social practices that cut across multiple regimes and scales of agri-food activities. Harnessing this potential requires a new co-produced and scientific integration of markets and business models, governance dynamics and capacity-building perspectives. The new book will address those dilemmas by recognising social and ecological relationships between places at local and regional scales. One of the key contributions of the publication is to demonstrate that a more foundational sociospatial approach is required for contested sustainability and for agrofood transformations.
