"This book provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and
methods of the sociology of farming. The sociology of farming focuses on co-production:
the ongoing interaction and mutual transformation of the natural and the social (of
'human and living nature') which requires putting the farm labour process centre stage.
While there are many books which discuss food, farming and agriculture, this book
is different: it delves into the methods and concepts used and presents a comprehensive
conceptual framework and the associated methods for research to give students and
researchers of agriculture and rural studies a solid set of tools for unraveling the
complexities of farming and rural life. Importantly, these tools also empower us to
design new ways forward. A wide array of case studies, as wide-ranging as Brazil,
Peru, China, the Netherlands, Italy and Guinea Bissau, help readers to grasp the commonalities
that underlie strongly diversified and divided rural worlds. The book lists over two
hundred basic concepts, and includes boxes that discuss the main methods of the sociology
of farming. This textbook is essential reading for students and scholars of food and
agriculture, agrarian studies, rural development, food and farming systems, peasant
studies and environmental sociology"
