“…The relevance of the basis risk for the demand for IBI is highlighted both in theoretical and empirical works by Clarke () and Jensen et al . (). Remarkably, although basis risk is generally seen as the main drawback of IBI, its magnitude and its demand effects are seldom analyzed in quantitative terms (Carter et al ., ).…”

“…Championed by a similar cast of development actors (e.g. the World Bank, FAO) and financial institutions like transnational insurance giant Swiss Re, hundreds of IBAI products have been launched since 2000, most of them in the global South (Greatrex et al., ; Jensen et al., ). The promotion of IBAI is rooted in notions that the risks associated with agricultural production are also opportunities (World Bank, ).…”

This article examines the rise of financialization in the agrifood sector and maps out both the way it has unfolded as well as its implications. The article argues that financialization has opened up new arenas for capital accumulation in the agrifood sector; reshaped the agrifood firms in ways that respond to demands of shareholders; and transformed everyday practices of food and social provisioning. The authors make the case that these three broad processes, while each important in their own right, are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. The article also argues that the complex iteration of financialization in the agrifood sector carries three important implications for the long‐term social and ecological sustainability of food and agricultural provisioning: it exacerbates the existing imbalances of power and wealth in the food system; it increases economic and ecological vulnerabilities within agrifood systems; and it has evolved in ways that impede and dampen collective demands for change and resistance. Taken together, these wider implications of financialization in the agrifood sector present a direct challenge to the ability of food systems to provide livelihoods and food security over the long term.

RESUMOMudanças no uso da terra em regiões tropicais tornaram-se mais frequentes nas últimas décadas, ocasionando intensas alterações ambientais e climáticas. O objetivo geral do estudo é analisar os padrões espaciais do desmatamento e temporais das variáveis climáticas (precipitação, temperatura máxima e mínima) associando com o uso e mudança da terra nos anos de 1985, 1995, 2005 e 2015 no município de São Félix do Xingu, estado do Pará. Utilizou-se um banco de dados de variáveis meteorológicas interpoladas desenvolvida pelo CLIMA, além da plataforma Google Earth Engine para gerar os valores do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) e uso e mudança do solo utilizando o MapBiomas. Os resultados indicam que o município de São Félix do Xingu possui uma área territorial parcialmente antropizada nos últimos anos, quando comparado com as primeiras décadas do estudo. Além disso, considerando a influência do número crescente de áreas com pastagem, os maiores picos de temperatura máxima e mínima ocorreram principalmente entre os anos de maiores taxas de desmatamento, explicando em parte, a variabilidade anual das condições de tempo vigente pela influência de fatores antrópicos. Adicionalmente, as áreas com um número elevado de NDVI (>0.7), foram parcialmente reduzidas (< 0.6) por causa da intensa mudança de paisagem que o munícipio de São Félix sofreu entre 2005 a 2015. ABSTRACTChanges in land use in tropical regions have become more frequent in recent decades, causing intense environmental and climatic changes. The general objective of the study is to analyze the deforestation and temporal patterns of climatic variables
