Commodity Chains under Pressure
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-0353-5529-7 (ISBN)
Chapters investigate the intricate relationships between agricultural commodity chains and external shocks through interdisciplinary lenses, including geography, communication studies, economics, history, and sociology. They draw on case studies from around the world ranging from the Kenyan cut roses industry to sheep farming in the UK, providing individual and comparative analyses of the challenges caused by external forces. Examining the effects of both short- and long-term shocks, the book evaluates potential actor strategies, ultimately underscoring the need for increased collaboration across all scientific disciplines.
Presenting novel perspectives on the multiple social and spatial transformations associated with agricultural products, Commodity Chains Under Pressure is an invaluable read for students and scholars in global value chains, development studies, human geography, sociology, and agricultural economics. Its practical guidance is also beneficial for policymakers and practitioners in agriculture and supply chain analysis.
