2. Land Matters : Agrofuels, Unequal Exchange, and Appropriation of Ecological Space
Sammanfattning : As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century when Malthus forecasted a contradiction between population growth and agricultural output.
