- Monograph based on multi-method, interdisciplinary empirical research conducted in Brazil over the course of ten years. A unique work of political ecology that empirically examines both political and ecological phenomena, based on methods and theories of political science, critical geography, and conservation biology. Methodologically, this includes extensive participant observation, semi-structured interviews of farmers and government officials, and biodiversity sampling and identification (76 ant species in 22 genera) from local farms and forests. It offers a novel taxonomy of the ways hunger has been measured, and a rigorous, empirical basis for conceptualizing how hunger can be sustainably fought and, eventually, ended.
