Abstract

This paper provides a critical review of the literature exploring the growing interest of global finance in farmland and agriculture, which has ensued at a global level since the financial and food crises of 2007/08. It finds that many of the existing works have approached this phenomenon through a more or less structuralist political economy framework that operates with a particular notion of "financialization". Despite the insights that work rooted in this intellectual tradition has provided at a macro-level, such a reading exposes several lacunae when it comes to the more practical, sociotechnical dimensions of the finance-driven land rush. After elaborating on these "black boxes", the review sketches a research agenda that seeks to develop an alternative reading of finance’s new love affair with "real things" from below rather than from above.
