Agrarian financial ecologies

Credit–debt relations have long been central to critical agrarian studies, yet their sociospatial production and uneven outcomes remain under-theorized. This essay further develops the agrarian financial ecologies concept by synthesizing financial ecologies scholarship in economic geography with Marxist theories of money and finance applied in an agrarian context. The concept explains how distinctive arrangements of money and finance are mutually constituted through agrarian production and social reproduction, as land and labor relations are unevenly integrated into circuits of capital accumulation. It provides a spatially grounded framework for explaining the variegated integration of agrarian households and spaces into the global financial system under neoliberal financialization.
