Just a tiny input: The contribution of industrial agriculture to feed the world is, at least on the global scale, frequently overestimated.

Statistics usually take only markets into account. Howevers, since subsistence and smallholder farmers are supplying a large proportion of the rural (and peri-urban) populations, we should not forget them.

The pictures of the harvester-threshers are also used as propaganda. In reality, the relation mouths fed by smallholders vs agroindustry is around 50:50.

(Note that in 'developed' countries, there are indeed not many farmers left. However, grandpa's vegetable garden and granny's backyard chicken coop don't appear in the eitherstatistics )

Transformations Towards More Just and Sustainable Food Systems

This open access book develops a framework for advancing agroecology transformations focusing on power, politics and governance. It explores the potential of agroecology as a sustainable and socially just alternative to today’s dominant food regime. Agroecology is an ecological approach to farming that addresses climate change and biodiversity loss while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. Agroecology transformations represent a challenge to the power of corporations in controlling food system and a rejection of the industrial food systems that are at the root of many social and ecological ills. In this book the authors analyse the conditions that enable and disable agroecology’s potential and present six ‘domains of transformation’ where it comes into conflict with the dominant food system. They argue that food sovereignty, community-self organization and a shift to bottom-up governance are critical for the transformation to a socially just and ecologically viablefood system. This book will be a valuable resource to researchers, students, policy makers and professionals across multidisciplinary areas including in the fields of food politics, international development, sustainability and resilience.
