This book makes a valuable contribution to the reflection on social science analytical frameworks that apprehend the transition toward the sustainability of agri-food systems, by considering this transition’s complexity and identifying the mechanisms that facilitate or hinder it. I recommend this book to undergraduate classes and graduate seminars, academic libraries, and individuals interested in social mechanisms to facilitate the agroecological transition.
