Description
Capital’s Food Regime provides a critical examination of India’s agricultural landscape through the lens of political economy and class analysis. Author Jostein Jakobsen investigates how corporate interests, state apparatus, and capitalist accumulation have fundamentally transformed food production systems in India.
The book analyzes the structural relationships between agribusiness corporations, government policies, and rural populations engaged in agricultural labor. It explores how the food regime operates as a mechanism of class control and capital extraction, while simultaneously examining resistance and struggles by agricultural workers and peasants.
Jakobsen’s work connects global capitalist processes with local Indian contexts, demonstrating how multinational corporations and state interventions have restructured farming practices, land ownership patterns, and food distribution networks. The study combines theoretical frameworks with empirical research to illuminate the political economy of contemporary Indian agriculture.
