This work examines how the possession of arable land, the control of agri-food circuits and the control of instruments of power in the same way as energy or armaments.Through a cross-cutting analysis of agricultural policies, land grabbing, trade flows and strategies of influence, the author sheds light on the invisible struggles for food sovereignty. From massive land grabs in Africa by foreign powers to tensions on grain markets and the technological dependence of local farmers, this work reveals the new forms of geopolitical domination linked to food.By combining geographical, economic and strategic approaches, Terres, Faim et Pouvoir offers a critical and documented reading of the reconfiguration of global power around agricultural resources, a crucial issue for the future of populations and the geopolitical balance of the planet.
