Power Play argues that the increasing centralisation and intertwining of political and corporate power is an unholy alliance that is linked to the global micronutrient crisis, land commodification and the push for a ‘one-world agriculture’ based on corporate-technocratic governance that reinforces monopolistic influence and practices.
The corporatisation of Indian agriculture is discussed too. The book critiques the forces that are rolling out a ‘food transition’ as part of a societal reset in the face of economic crisis — the very forces that seek to control every aspect of our lives. Power Play is driven by a conviction in the transformative power of re-localising food systems, revitalising traditional ecological wisdom and rekindling our connection to the land.
