Beskrivning

This book offers a critical analysis of the diverse knowledge and knowledge production processes through which ‘alternative agro-food networks’ can constitute a more plural ‘knowledge economy’. It provides critical sociological and political economic insights that help problematise dominant capitalocentric and technocentric framings of the ‘knowledge (bio)economy’. It will appeal to researchers, practitioners and policy-makers with an interest in supporting inclusive research, policy and innovation agendas for sustainability.
