La questione agraria è una questione politica con specifiche coordinate spaziotemporali. Secondo il classico approccio basato sulle classi, l’agrario rappresenta o lo spazio per la composizione di classe oppure l’ambito per una interpretazione sviluppista del ruolo dell’agricoltura nell’accumulazione capitalistica. Tuttavia, i processi di transizione agraria necessitano una specificazione storico-mondiale al di là delle categorie dell’economia politica classica. L’analisi dei regimi alimentari offre un tale approccio sviluppandolo nei termini di un costrutto storico-comparativo per collocare e comprendere la questione agraria come espressione della trasformazione politico-economica a livello globale.


Keywords: Questione agraria, regime alimentare, sovranità alimentare, sviluppo, ecologia, storia politica del capitale
