Abstract

This commentary engages with Wang et al.'s formulation of planetary rural geographies through the global agro-industrial complex. Focusing on the violent roots, unequal drivers, and differentiated dynamics of agroindustrial development, I emphasize that agro-industrial expansion and intensification often carries forward technological and territorial legacies of plantations, colonialism, and warfare against rural places and people. A focus on monocultural developments as racial-colonial projects of control and extraction, I argue, is critical to understanding the contemporary dynamics of rural crises.
