This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soy in South America constitutes one of the most spectacular booms of agro-industrial commodity production in the world. It is the pinnacle of modernist agro-industrial practices, serving as a key nexus in food–feed–fuel production that underpins the agribusiness–conservationist discourse of "land sparing" through intensification. Yet soy production is implicated in multiple problems beyond deforestation, ranging from pesticide drift and contamination to social exclusion and conflicts in frontier zones, to concentration of wealth and income among the largest landowners and corporations. This book explores in depth the complex dynamics of soy production from its diverse social settings to its transnational connections, examining the politics of commodity and knowledge production, the role of the state, and the reach of corporate power in everyday life across soy landscapes in South America. Ultimately, the collection encourages us to search and struggle for agroecological alternatives through which we may overcome the pitfalls of this massive transnational capitalist agro-industry. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies.

This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to "end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all," researchers and policy makers highlighted the importance of targeted investment in science, technology, and innovation (STI) to make tangible progress. Science, Technology, and Innovation for Sustainable Development Goals showcases the roles that STI solutions can play in meeting on-the-ground socio-economic and environmental challenges among domestic and international organizations concerned with the SDGs in three overlapping areas: agriculture, health, and environment/energy. Authors and researchers from 31 countries tackle both big-picture questions, such as scaling up the adoption and diffusion of new sustainable technologies, and specific, localized case studies, focusing on developing and middle-income countries and specific STI solutions and policies. Issues addressed include renewable energy, automated vehicles, vaccines, digital health, agricultural biotechnology, and precision agriculture. In bringing together diverse voices from both policy and academic spheres, this volume provides practical and relevant insights and advice to support policy makers and managers seeking to enhance the roles of STI in sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid growth in global soybean demand has had a profound impact on land cover in South America over the last three decades, contributing to a 30 million hectare increase in soybean planted area during this period. Much of this new soybean area came at the expense of native vegetation in the Amazon, Cerrado, and Chaco forests and savannas. The goal of my dissertation is to understand the economic and institutional mechanisms that influence the location and governance of soybean production in South America at multiple scales. In particular, I aim to: i) link changes in international demand, consumer preferences, and macroeconomic conditions to local changes in soybean area in South America through the study of soybean supply chains, and ii) analyze how supply chains create or enforce land use institutions and market mechanisms. My first paper is focused on Brazil at the national scale. I use spatial statistics and cross-sectional econometric models to analyze variation in soybean yields and planted area as a proportion of arable land in each county. I find that soybean area and yields are higher in regions where farmer cooperative membership and credit levels are high, and cheap credit sources are more accessible. Yields decline as transportation costs increase, but planted area is highest in the areas with the largest transportation costs. These results suggest that the organization of the supply chain (the existence of cooperatives and cheap credit sources) can overcome disadvantages from high transportation costs. I also provide evidence that counties with higher soy yields have a higher proportion of land planted in soy, implying that policies intending to spare land through yield improvements could actually lead to land expansion in the absence of strong land use regulations. My second paper is focused at the local scale on the counties of Santarém and Sorriso, Brazil. I use a comparative case study design and a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze differences in soybean development in each county. I find that differences in environmental and land tenure institutions in the Brazilian Cerrado and Amazon influenced the historical development of agglomeration economies in soybean production. Where agglomeration economies occurred, they acted to create positive externalities related to prices, information, and access to resources for farmers, which increased the local profitability of agriculture. The organization of the supply chain, in turn, influenced the enforcement of environmental regulations through the type of actors being involved and their sustainability commitments. My third paper is focused at the global scale. I use panel econometric models to analyze variation in soybean trade patterns in response to GM soybean production in exporting countries. I also use qualitative methods to analyze how trade relationships influence soybean producers' adoption of sustainable soybean certification programs through effects on supply chain infrastructure. I find that the rejection of GM crops by European consumers led to strong trade linkages with Brazil and that Brazil's privileged position in European markets facilitated the creation of regional soybean supply chains that enabled Brazilian producers to access premiums for environmentally sustainable production. I conclude that the combination of European consumer preferences for non-GM and environmentally sustainable foods provided a unique conservation opportunity in Brazil by stimulating specialization in trade partnerships that place increased value on sustainably produced commodities.
