Book launch: "Farming and Working under Contract: Peasants and Workers in Global Agricultural Value Systems" (Tulika Books), edited by Praveen Jha, Paris Yeros, Walter Chambati and Freedom Mazwi

We are pleased to invite you to the launch of our new book entitled "Farming and Working under Contract: Peasants and Workers in Global Agricultural Value Systems", edited by Praveen Jha, Paris Yeros, Walter Chambati and Freedom Mazwi, and published by Tulika Books in New Delhi.

This book is the result of a tricontinental research project on global agricultural value systems launched by ASN and SMAIAS in 2017. Research in progress was presented at the SMAIAS-ASN Summer School in January 2018 and a SMAIAS-FAO Symposium on Contract Farming in November 2018, both in Harare. Some of the articles were first published in a double special issue of Agrarian South in 2019 (Vol. 8, Nos. 1-2). The book includes several more contributions which were commissioned subsequently.

This research project has been a major tricontinental initiative of ASN and SMAIAS to assess the new trends in global agricultural value systems in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The launch will occur on 29 June at UTC 13:00-15:00 (see poster attached). Speakers will include Thiago Lima, Hibist Kassa, and Archana Prasad. The event will be moderated by Praveen Jha.
