Abstract

‘Monocrops’ is a key concept needed to understand agrarian dynamics today. Strictly speaking, it means cultivation of a single crop in a transformed and simplified landscape. Broadly, it means the violent imposition of a pattern of power predicated upon the concentration of control over nature, labor, inputs, production, profits and knowledge, in the form of homogeneous, simplified landscapes. I examine the concept in relation to processes of empire and conquest and the modernization of agriculture through the Green Revolution and beyond. I discuss how thinking against monocrops can help us imagine how to create a more inclusive, just and healthy world.

单一作物

“单一作物”是理解当今农业动态所需的一个关键概念。严格来说，它意味着在经过改造和简化的景观中种植单一作物。广义地说，它意味着以同质、简化景观的形式，以对自然、劳动力、投入、生产、利润和知识的集中控制为基础的一种权力模式的暴力强加。我将这个概念与帝国和征服的过程以及通过绿色革命和其他方式实现的农业现代化联系起来。我讨论了反对单一作物的思考如何帮助我们想象如何创造一个更加包容、公正和健康的世界。

期刊介绍： A leading journal in the field of rural politics and development, The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS) provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world. It fosters inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, contested and transformed. JPS pays special attention to questions of ‘agency’ of marginalized groups in agrarian societies, particularly their autonomy and capacity to interpret – and change – their conditions.
