Additionally, rising energy and input costs have pushed agricultural production to its limits, placing farming communities in an increasingly precarious position. This volume presents a collection of papers that challenge us to reconsider existing agri-food and farming systems from a local perspective, and to explore alternative, more sustainable production approaches. The volume is structured around four key themes. The first theme scrutinizes agricultural modernization, with a particular focus on technological innovations and monoculture-based agricultural production. The second theme centres on the political-economic dynamics and local challenges. The third theme assesses participatory methods for knowledge production on processes of agrarian change across various regional settings. Finally, the fourth theme explores alternative production systems that are socially and ecologically sustainable, offering potential solutions for reshaping agricultural systems under pressure.}, subject = {Biomasse}, language = {en} }
