What happened
A book titled Peasants: Makers of the Modern World argues that peasant farmers did not disappear during industrialization but remain critical to modern economies and commodity supply chains. The author examines how local livelihoods are interconnected with global consumption through four commodities, including rice in Cambodia and cocoa in Ghana.
Why it matters
The analysis challenges the conventional view of farm modernization by emphasizing that peasants continue to play a vital role in food production and the stewardship of ecosystems. This reveals the deep structural connection between local agricultural labor and global commodity markets.
