dc.description.abstractThe book questions mainstream concepts of agriculture, including biases based on patriarchal categories of private and common land; the opposition between homestead and cultivated land; and a narrow focus on the cultivated components of agriculture. Among the undocumented hidden costs of development initiatives is the disappearance of knowledge about food systems based on everyday use of local environments, especially by women. As the authors emphasize, uncultivated biodiversity provides not just food security but food sovereignty, allowing people control over a basic need. Uncultivated plants and animals constitute a prominent place in local food systems and a vital part of agricultural practice.en
