Socio-productive Studies in the Rural-Urban Interface

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the environmental and social conflicts arising from the agro-export model over the past thirty years, particularly focusing on peri-urban land use. It highlights concerns about agrochemical contamination affecting health in urban-rural interfaces. By examining community perceptions and tensions in these areas, the work explores the implications of new socio-technical processes and the complexities of land use in these transitional spaces. This analysis aims to uncover the meanings and challenges faced by different stakeholders in the community.
