Book Synopsis The Persistence of Subsistence Agriculture by : Tony Waters
Download or read book The Persistence of Subsistence Agriculture written by Tony Waters and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story told by The Persistence of Subsistence Agriculture begins 8,000 years ago as humans began using the land and weather to provide themselves with food, housing, and clothing. Productive farmers took care of most daily needs within the small conservative world in which they lived. This world organized around small-scale subsistence farming is ending as the ancient world of farmers has given away to that dominated by the modern marketplace. This book is about how the modern market world transformed these remote agricultural farmers. Waters uses diverse examples to illustrate how the modern market economy captured persistent subsistence farmers and forever altered life in 18th century Scotland, 19th century United States, 20th century Tanzania, and indeed, the entire modern world.
Book Synopsis Subsistence Agriculture in the US by : Ashley Colby
Download or read book Subsistence Agriculture in the US written by Ashley Colby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on ethnography and interviews with subsistence food producers, this book explores the resilience, innovation and creativity taking place in subsistence agriculture in America. To date, researchers interested in alternative food networks have often overlooked the somewhat hidden, unorganized population of household food producers. Subsistence Agriculture in the US fills this gap in the existing literature by examining the lived experiences of people taking part in subsistence food production. Over the course of the book, Colby draws on accounts from a broad and diverse network of people who are hunting, fishing, gardening, keeping livestock and gathering and looks in depth at the way in which these practical actions have transformed their relationship to labor and land. She also explores the broader implications of this pro-environmental activity for social change and sustainable futures. With a combination of rigorous academic investigation and engagement with pressing social issues, this book will be of great interest to scholars of sustainable consumption, environmental sociology and social movements.

Book Synopsis Change in Agriculture by : Clarence H. Danhof
Download or read book Change in Agriculture written by Clarence H. Danhof and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1969 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American agriculture changed radically between 1820 and 1870. In turning slowly from subsistence to commercial farming, farmers on the average doubled the portion of their production places on the market, and thereby laid the foundations for today's highly productive agricultural industry. But the modern system was by no means inevitable. It evolved slowly through an intricate process in which innovative and imitative entrepreneurs were the key instruments.

Download or read book Subsistence Agriculture written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Subsistence Agriculture When farmers cultivate crops on smallholdings in order to meet the requirements of themselves and their family, this type of agriculture is known as subsistence agriculture. A farm's output is the primary focus of subsistence farmers, who do so for the purpose of surviving and satisfying mostly local needs. When it comes to planting, decisions are made primarily with the consideration of what the family will require over the course of the following year, with market prices being a secondary consideration. Tony Waters, a professor of sociology, provides the following definition of the term "subsistence peasants": "people who grow what they eat, build their own houses, and live without regularly making purchases in the marketplace."

Book Synopsis Subsistence Agriculture and Economic Development by : Jr. Wharton
Download or read book Subsistence Agriculture and Economic Development written by Jr. Wharton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the more perplexing problems of economic development is helping subsistence farmers break away from production simply for home consumption to become commercial farmers, producing more and more for sale in the marketplace. Although subsistence farms occupy 40 percent of the worlds cultivated land and support half of mankind, facts about them and programs to increase their output are scattered. Subsistence Agriculture and Economic Development provides a unique overview of these difficulties and their significance to economic development. It is the first book to subject subsistence agriculture to rigorous multi-disciplinary examination and to bring to light new theory and empirical evidence directed toward solving the problem.This volume contains original chapters by forty leading social scientists and agricultural specialists who summarize contemporary theory, fact, and policy on the problems of developing agriculture from subsistence to a commercial basis. Each contributor speaks from one or more of the relevant standpoints of economics, sociology, agronomy, political science, anthropology, and social psychology. There emerges a clear, meaningful picture of the subsistence farmer and the problems involved in changing his attitudes, methods of production, and economic and social environment.Broad in scope, documented with pertinent case studies, and far-reaching in its guidelines for future research and policy, this work should be read by all concerned with increasing food production and with economic development. This is an area of special concern in the uses of food products as the basis for new energy resources - an issue of increasing importance in the advancing use of ethanol as a fuel drawn from corn products.

Download or read book Conservation Agriculture in Subsistence Farming written by Catherine Chan and published by CABI. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation agriculture systems have long-term impacts on livelihoods, agricultural production, gender equity, and regional economic development of tribal societies in South Asia. This book presents South Asia as a case study, due to the high soil erosion caused by monsoon rainfall and geophysical conditions in the region, which necessitate conservation agriculture approaches, and the high percentage of people in South Asia relying on subsistence and traditional farming. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to analyse systems at scales ranging from household to regional and national levels.
