This paper proposes a reflection on the current state of the discipline of agricultural geography... more This paper proposes a reflection on the current state of the discipline of agricultural geography. To do so, I provide a brief overview of its historical development, to then delve into the current debate upon the saliency of a political economic approach in agricultural geography. The core of the debate questions the political economic approach on its capacity of providing an adequate toolkit to understand a rural reality, in its social, cultural, and economic existence. Specifically, the paper reflects on how a country's imbrication in the international market and its placing within a wider and complex network may be appealing to other variables " beyond the farm gate " , as well as a performing scenario for diverse micro and macro developments. This paper is by no mean exhaustive on the subject, but may serve as an initial theoretical reflection on the role of agricultural geography, relying on the argument that such discipline, as the work of the researcher altogether, holds great potential if receptive of ever-changing trends.
