其他摘要：How and why does 'development' privilege a global agricultural system that is socially limited and ecologically unstable? This essay examines the ways in which 'development' has been represented and applied to the task of feeding the world, and its ecological consequences. 'Development', a term with universal appeal, has been appropriated as an ideological expression of capitalist development. It actually represents the political relations of global capitalism, though not of course without being contested. This essay frames capitalist development in terms of three successive historical 'projects': the colonial, development, and globalization projects. The contradictions of each successive project condition the one that follows, just as the crisis-ridden globalization project is today shaping an emerging, unstable, 'imperial project', focused on securing resources to sustain US military power and the global consumption relations of a minority class.
