This book is the first scholarly study of the new transnational agrarian movements (TAMs) from their perspective. It explores how they strategize within the global governance of agriculture to confront neoliberal aims of expanding capital penetration in the countryside. TAMs oppose this phase of financialization and instead foster a system based on agroecology and re-peasantization of production, valuing labour and natural resources over capital.
The book outlines how TAMs defend food sovereignty and oppose neoliberal policies in the context of climate change negotiations. It is written from their perspective, merging scholarship with activism through a methodology of observant participation.

“I highly recommend this manuscript for its high value in scientific and political debate for a critical understanding of global governance issues and core issues such as agrcoecology and biotechnology.”
