Abstract

In July 2024, an author meets critics session was organized at the Rural Sociological Society’s Annual meeting that was held at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In this session, the co-editors (Allison Loconto and Doug Constance) of the book Agrifood Transitions in the Anthropocene: Challenges, Contested Knowledge, and the Need for Change met co-authors Elizabeth Ransom and Claire Lamine to discuss the contents of the book. They also met two critics - one in person and one at a distance - in order to debate the pertinance, the interest and the contribution of the book to the epistemic community gathered in Madison. This article publishes these two critiques back-to-back as a means to stimulate further debate and discussion in the sociology of agriculture and food community.
