[STS-Africa] [Backchannels] Wait and profit: How mould grows on market speculation in Kenya

[Joseph Satish]

Dear all,

In this *Backchannels* post
<https://www.4sonline.org/wait-and-profit-how-mould-grows-on-market-speculation-in-kenya/>,
*Konstantin Biehl* investigates how Kenyan farmers' storage of potatoes
follows a market logic of speculation and profit-maximization. Contrary to
capitalist theories of modernization, this does not lead to better and
safer food available for consumers but allows mould and rot to thrive.
