Ecologically unequal exchange, money and food: the price of hunger

This paper analyzes the differentiated integration of economies into the global food regime. Food regime theory describes the role of international trade and the interactions between agriculture and industry in food production and distribution. This chapter uses multi-regional input-output analysis and network analysis to identify the position of each economy within the network of land and value added embedded into international trade. Network analysis allows us to characterize each country’s central or peripheral position within the network, as well as the trading communities within the network. Using indicators of centrality, food security, land grabbing, and other social and ecological indicators, we use cluster analysis to identify the differentiated integration of different economies into the global food regime.
