Left to Live and Die: Resource Security and the Biopolitics of Land Stockpiling in China
Antipode, EarlyView.Abstract Beginning in 2007, the Chinese state used liberalising policy and funding to encourage the expansion of large‐scale grain farming. Despite this support, many of the new farms have struggled financially and folded. Drawing on Foucauldian biopolitics and resource security literature, I argue that, with modernised agriculture, the state primarily
