ABSTRACT

This paper makes two central arguments: i) The world-historical generalization of the capital-nature relation in the context of the global extractivist turn has reconfigured the twenty-first century agrarian question as the agrarian question of nature as a critical component of the broader socio-ecological question. ii) The historical context of the agrarian question of nature, in turn, gave birth to not only environmental-agrarian movements, but also agrarianization of the politics and movements of environmental/climate justice. The agroecology movement signifies the emergence of a contemporary form of political agrarianism emerged from within the context of the environmentalization of the agrarian question.
