{"product_id":"more-than-a-resource-jonas-metzger-9783658400101","title":"More Than a Resource - The Social Significance of Local Seed Systems and Seed Exchange in the Global South: The Example of Tanzania","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeeds are at the heart of a transformation process that affects more than two billion people worldwide. This study on smallholder farmers in Tanzania examines how local seed systems are anchored in the socio-cultural structures of smallholder life worlds. Using the example of seeds, the close interweaving of agricultural and social practice is traced and it is worked out how individual processes of modernisation brought in from outside have far-reaching consequences for smallholder coexistence. The study provides a concrete, detailed and differentiated account of everyday farming life and of how smallholder households deal with seeds. A particular focus is on seed exchange relationships and how these provide both social security and social cohesion in the study region. The study is based on extensive field research and intensive interviews with farmers, who also have their own say in the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonas Metzger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3658400102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783658400101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer vs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.47d","brand":"Jonas Metzger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122841645311,"sku":"9783658400101","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3300028-89eb-4d9f-a45b-b2c32b3d1ef0.jpg?v=1687427470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/more-than-a-resource-jonas-metzger-9783658400101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
