Green Grabbing: A New Appropriation of Nature (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

'Green grabbing' is an emerging process of deep and growing significance, whether linked to biodiversity conservation, biocarbon sequestration, biofuels, ecosystem services, ecotourism or 'offsets'. This collection explores these new ways of valuing, commodifying and appropriating nature, and the implications for people, ecologies and livelihoods.

This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Peasant Studies.
