ABSTRACT While most frontier studies associate commodity expansions with dispossession, I argue that such expansions can also function as ‘civilizational’ projects aimed at overcoming traditional farming and creating new rural subjects better suited to the needs of capitalist development. Using a Gramscian approach to study subsumption, I analyse three

Citizenship, Dispossession and Demands for Justice in the Global South

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTIn this introduction to the Special Issue we frame a “dispossession‐citizenship nexus” that generates fresh insights on citizenship dynamics in the Global South. We focus on rural and peri‐urban areas where all citizens are not granted the same bundle of rights and specific categories of citizens are particularly exposed to dispossession of ...

Local Solutions to Structural Issues: The Fetishization of Custom in Rural Development Interventions in Côte d'Ivoire

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the paradox of seeking local solutions in rural development when conflicts result from structural transformations of the agrarian economy driven by national political choices.

Epistemological Friction: Embodied Expertise and the ‘Last Mile’ of Agricultural Automation in the US Tree‐Fruit Industry

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous and AI‐driven agricultural technology is often framed as a panacea for labour dependency. While proponents envision autonomous technologies seamlessly optimising farming, this rationalised model misunderstands the reality of on‐farm integration.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Improved Autotetraploid Induction Methods in Four Diploid Wild Peanut Species: Arachis duranensis, A. stenosperma, A. magna, and A. batizocoi

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.
