摘要
In a time of climate emergency, the question of environmental governance is not only critical, but also epistemic. How 'environment' is represented is as critical as how environmental crisis is managed. This essay addresses a debate of this kind by considering the complementary and contradictory relations between the concepts of 'multi-functionality' and 'food sovereignty,' as they define the global landscape. The juxtaposition of these concepts and their practical implications for political economy and ecology has its formative origins in a European-led debate over the role of agriculture, as a critical dimension of environmental governance. In this chapter I examine this debate as posing questions with broader, global significance. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
