“This research addresses key issues in global development: genetic modification, agribusiness, environment destruction, etc.; but it does so from a particular vantage point: how people live global change on the level of the farm field, and how we might assess “rural well-being” from that perspective. The methodology is a political economy of knowledge and thick ethnographic work, examining the role of knowledge in people’s lived experiences and how that knowledge is utilized.”—ISA Global Development Section
