07 October 2024

Angela Serrano takes readers through her paper Another palm is possible: small-scale palm oil farmers exercising autonomy in northeast Colombia. The paper explores how some small-scale palm oil farmers in northeast Colombia have managed to participate in global markets whilst maintaining partial autonomy from them. Angela shows how state-led land access and multiscale organizational support for small-scale farming have enabled these farmers to selectively engage with global markets and carve out space for autonomous decision-making on their farms.
