This paper reflects on the conditions that emerge as regional Australia becomes increasingly immersed in international markets, global and local political shifts, and changing environmental conditions. In the Liverpool Plains region, farmers are deeply reliant on global export markets. Meanwhile, global demand for Australian minerals continues to produce both economic development and environmental degradation. In this context, farmers are drawing on transnational and national social movements to collectively construct their knowledge of risk and “organized irresponsibility” and resist environmental risk by positioning themselves as a part of a cosmopolitan public. While consistently evaluating risks associated with a proposed coal mine, farmers see themselves as having an ethical responsibility as food producers to provide for increasing global populations in a precarious world. These conditions are productive of new risks, identities, as well as new forms of critical, collective practice.

澳大利亚偏远地区的全球市场、风险和有组织的不负责任：利物浦平原当地食品生产者的新兴国际化身份☆

本文反映了随着澳大利亚偏远地区越来越融入国际市场、全球和地方政治转变以及不断变化的环境条件而出现的情况。在利物浦平原地区，农民严重依赖全球出口市场。与此同时，全球对澳大利亚矿产的需求继续导致经济发展和环境恶化。在此背景下，农民正在利用跨国和全国性的社会运动来共同构建他们的风险知识和“有组织的不负责任”，并通过将自己定位为世界性公众的一部分来抵御环境风险。在持续评估与拟建煤矿相关的风险的同时，农民认为自己作为食品生产者负有道德责任，在一个不稳定的世界中为不断增加的全球人口提供食物。这些条件产生了新的风险、身份以及新形式的批判性集体实践。
