Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book examines the multifaceted relationship between post-conflict reconstruction and sustainable agricultural development, arguing for agriculture's centrality not only to food security but also to broader peacebuilding processes. Structured in four parts, it brings together interdisciplinary contributors from development studies, agricultural science, peace studies and policy research. The first part establishes the conceptual foundations, outlining the implications of conflict for agricultural systems and identifying governance, infrastructure, environmental degradation and climate change as core challenges. The second part focuses on direct impacts of conflict on agricultural systems, with case studies from Sierra Leone, Nepal, southern Lebanon and Aceh. These chapters analyze disruption to rural livelihoods, contamination of land, displacement of communities and the altered gendered roles in farming. They assess how war damages both the physical capacity and social structures essential to agricultural production. The Nepal chapter, for example, demonstrates how the civil conflict dismantled agricultural extension networks, while the Lebanon case shows how cluster munitions rendered farmlands inaccessible. In Aceh, shifts in women's roles in agriculture during and after conflict are investigated to reveal both burden and empowerment outcomes. Part three addresses recovery mechanisms, assessing what sustainable recovery might entail. It includes discussions of agroecological approaches, smallholder rights, post-conflict land redistribution, value chain development and the risks of dependency in foreign aid frameworks. Case studies span South Africa, Cambodia, Uganda, Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan, Palestine and Darfur, examining efforts to rebuild agricultural production and address post-conflict vulnerabilities. Topics include the agroecological potential for resilient recovery, challenges in dairy development without triggering aid dependency and the complexity of land rights reform where tenure insecurity was a factor in conflict. The Afghanistan chapter documents sand extraction and land degradation, while the Darfur case demonstrates how localized interventions can still occur during protracted violence. This section shows the breadth of strategies for reviving agricultural systems and livelihoods, while also identifying tensions between local knowledge and external technical expertise, between short-term recovery and long-term sustainability, and between political imperatives and environmental realities. A recurring theme is how power asymmetries shape both the causes of agricultural vulnerability and the success of recovery initiatives. The final chapters explore food security in urban contexts and the effectiveness of cooperative models in conflict-affected regions, particularly in Sierra Leone. They highlight how youth associations and urban agriculture have played unexpected roles in post-conflict recovery, and how externally promoted cooperation models can falter without adequate contextualization. The concluding section synthesizes findings, emphasizing agriculture's integral role in building resilient societies. It cautions against depoliticized technical approaches, pointing to agriculture's deeply embedded nature within social, economic, environmental, and governance systems. For researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners, the book offers a wide array of empirical case studies and frameworks for analyzing post-conflict agricultural recovery. Its practical relevance lies in highlighting the conditions under which agricultural interventions succeed or fail. The book encourages further research into local knowledge systems, the design of inclusive agricultural policies, and the integration of agroecological principles in fragile contexts.
