ItemStrengthening Brazil’s food system: can China’s Belt and Road help?(Routledge, 2021-05-31)The chapter discusses theories and frames debates on BRI focusing on its internal logics, external drivers, and controversy that inform the central propositions in this book raised in Chapter 1 where the case chapters provide empirical support. It delves into and speculates questions for future of globalisation and global economic development catalysed by BRI, neoliberalism and the developmental state. The chapter provides insights from the developed and developing countries’ perspectives, observing that both convergence and divergence of ideas and interests co-exist, reflecting the complexity in global trade, capital movement, income distribution and economic development.

ItemUrban Agriculture and the Battle for History in Melbourne and São Paulo(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020)This edited collection explores urban food democracy as part of a broader policy-based approach to sustainable urban development. Conceptually, governance and social justice provide the analytical framework for a varied array of contributions which critically address issues including urban agriculture, smart cities, human health and wellbeing and urban biodiversity. Some chapters take the form of thematic, issue-based discussions, where others are constituted by empirical case studies. Contributing authors include both academic experts and practitioners who hail from a wide range of disciplines, professions and nations. All offer original research and robust consideration of urban food democracy in cities from across the Global North and South. Taken as a whole, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the potential enabling role of good urban governance in developing formal urban food policy that is economically and socially responsive and in tune with forms of community-driven adaptation of space for the local production, distribution and consumption of nutritious food.
