The new issue of Roadsides includes also my photo essay "Roads, Marketplaces and Plantations".

In the essay I discuss how unequal relations and struggles over them between plantation companies, workers and peasants are materialized in and enacted through food and infrastructure in #PapuaNewGuinea.

You probably know this book already, but others might not...

Oil Palm: A Global History by Jonathan E. Robins, 2021

Oil palms are ubiquitous—grown in nearly every tropical country, they supply the world with more edible fat than any other plant and play a role in scores of packaged products, from lipstick and soap to margarine and cookies. And as Jonathan E. Robins shows, sweeping social transformations carried the plant around the planet.

"Green" airport expansion is a myth. The idea that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can reduce carbon emissions is misleading. SAF production is limited and can harm the environment. Plus, airport expansion can lead to more flights and more carbon emissions. It's time to rethink the way we travel and find more sustainable solutions for air travel.

"The lead author described wealthy passengers using jets “like taxis”."

Dearest Fediverse (and apologies for the absence),

my book "Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontier" was just recently published in full digital open access. (Print-on-demand and oa epub out soon!)

https://hup.fi/site/books/m/10.33134/HUP-29/

"Hard Work explores the complexities of natural resource extraction, looking at both large-scale processes and personal human-environment interactions. It combines a political ecology focus on the connection between environmental issues and power relations with a focus on how value is produced, represented, and materialized."
