Diversified Agriculture, Land Use, and Agrofood Networks in Hawaii*
研究了夏威夷多元化农业在全球化农业食品体系中复兴的策略,以及土地利用政治如何影响关键网络的建设。
Abstract: Agriculture dominated the culture and economy of Hawaii until the mid‐twentieth century, but has since been in a prolonged state of decline. This article examines strategies in Hawaii's diversified agriculture that seek to revitalize its agrarian sector and the difficult challenges these efforts face within the globalized agrofood systems. Drawing from the actor‐network perspective, this article suggests an alternative approach to developing Hawaii's diversified agriculture. Networks of social actors that include growers, processors, gourmet chefs, retailers, and consumers have been able to create viable diversified agriculture in spite of the globalized agrofood systems. The article then discusses how the politics of land use and land development could condition Hawaii's ability to build networks that are critical to the maintenance of a diversified agricultural sector.
