Notorious for consuming vast volumes of water and trucking honeybees across the continent, California's almond orchards appear extraordinarily needy. In Spain, however, almond trees have long epitomised the exact opposite: rain-fed resilience. Often planted at the margins of agricultural viability, almonds are championed for their ecological thrift rather than their thirst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow is it that a crop can be known in such radically different ways? \u003cem\u003eThe Almond Paradox\u003c\/em\u003e explores a captivating contrast between divergent ways of knowing not only how much water or pollination almond trees need but also which trees should be grown and where. Charting the buildup to a global almond boom, the book exposes how situated histories of capitalism, land, science, and the state profoundly shape the most fundamental ways of understanding agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA recognition of knowledge as place-based further reveals how seemingly placeless efficiency deepens ecological precarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871515201772,"sku":"9780520413832","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7358653482373.jpg?v=1759882907"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/emily-reisman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
