? Questions
1. Discuss under which conditions market-oriented agriculture can play a positive
and negative role for people and environments.
2. How did Ester Boserup see the relationship between population pressure and
agricultural production?
3. Explain what is meant by the term ‘land grabbing’ and why it has been used.
4. Try to identify other examples of commodity fetishism and accumulation by
dispossession than those given in this chapter.
