Farmers with noncapitalist ideologies may not seek to sell their commodities at an exchange value that supplies them with earnings since they engage in production for other reasons. However, political economic theory says that when AFN farmers are connected to a market, it is the purchasers of the commodities from AFN farmers who benefit from AFN farmers’ self-exploitation, since the purchasers are not being charged a price that adequately covers the farmers’ labor process. An important point is that self-exploitation is not all that is occurring—the farmer is often enjoying the experience of farming and satisfaction of producing healthy produce for people she or he sees firsthand (Galt et al. 2012), and many other things are exchanged in the process, such as information and guilt (Dixon 1999)—but we should recognize self-exploitation as a transfer of value as well, even if it is embedded within more personalized relationships. We must be able to insist that values other than maximizing a return on investment matter, meaning that there are multiple values operating simultaneously and they are not reducible to a single, formal rationality. Indeed, self-exploitation is often a necessary practice of humans as ethical beings in a capitalist political economy. Yet even though (thankfully) not everyone accepts capitalism's terms of valuation, in capitalist political economies we are nonetheless subjected to them if we engage in commodity exchange.
