Open-access ebook analysing the transformation of the global agri-food system through strategic corporate consolidation involving traditional agribusiness and the tech giants. The book examines the systematic promotion of industrial agriculture, exposing how imperialist economic strategies are reframed as humanitarian interventions. It also contextualises COVID-19 as a mechanism for managing an economic crisis. The analysis proposes progressive alternative approaches rooted in localisation, agroecology and food sovereignty. With a special focus on India, the work provides an exploration of the country's agrarian crisis, particularly highlighting the farmers' protest movement of 2020-2021.
