Book Synopsis The Entrepreneurial Characteristics of Farm Women by : Bonnie O. Tanner
Download or read book The Entrepreneurial Characteristics of Farm Women written by Bonnie O. Tanner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have always made major contributions to the success of agribusiness and farm operations, but until now there has been little scholarship on the business characteristics, roles, and organizations and activities of farm women in farms and ranches in the United States. This is the first study to deal with farm women as entrepreneurs. Its focus is on demographic and entrepreneurial characteristics, opportunities of leadership and networking provided through the agricultural, business, and community organizations to which the women belonged. The author developed and administered a questionnaire to over 1,000 statistically-selected individuals from three national agricultural women's organizations. The basic design of this unique study was to explore the literature from both a historical and a contemporary perspective on entrepreneurship, on women as entrepreneurs, and on farm women, and then gather primary data from a national survey of farm women. This study compares the characteristics of farm women with non-farm women entrepreneurs. Based on the findings, recommendations are made to policymakers and economic development specialists with interest in entrepreneurship, revitalization of rural America, and women's studies. Historical information is presented on women's organizations, their leaders, and the impact of these organizations; and major federal legislation impacting women and women business owners is provided in the appendices.

Written by leading social scientists from many countries, it addresses emerging issues and challenges in innovative and provocative ways to inform future policy. This volume is organised around eight emerging social, economic and environmental challenges: Demographic change. Economic transformations. Food systems and land. Environment and resources. Changing configurations of gender and rural society. Social and economic equality. Social dynamics and institutional capacity. Power and governance. Cross-cutting these challenges are the growing interdependence of rural and urban; the rise in inequality within and between places; the impact of fiscal crisis on rural societies; neoliberalism, power and agency; and rural areas as potential sites of resistance. The Routledge International Handbook of Rural Studies is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of rural areas.

Book Synopsis Farm Women by : Rachel Ann Rosenfeld
Download or read book Farm Women written by Rachel Ann Rosenfeld and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosenfeld argues that farm women have rarely been identified as productive farm workers and that they continue to be seen only as mothers and homemakers. She shows that in addition to performing a wide range of farm work, these women in fact help ensure the farm's economic survival by contributing wages from outside employment. She raises questions about government policy and stresses the need for study in both industrialized and development societies.

Book Synopsis Development and Sustainability by : Sarmila Banerjee
Download or read book Development and Sustainability written by Sarmila Banerjee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the reforms undertaken in the last two decades, India’s economic landscape has been radically transformed. This book examines the new economic map, which is shown to be shaped by two intertwined currents: globalization and sustainability. Weaving extensively through these currents and the canvas of development in the Indian economy they open up, this work seeks to introduce new methodologies, a corpus of concepts and modes of analysis to make sense of the emerging order of things. What transpires in the course of the investigation is a critical reflection of the present in which not only the new institutions, policies and practices are analyzed, but their limitations, fragility and at times myopic approaches are brought to light. By highlighting the rough edges created by the new conditions, this book is firmly engaged with the frontier of the Indian economy and ends up challenging many well-known conjectures and assumptions. In doing so, it strives to shift the Indian economy to a new terrain, thereby fundamentally re-locating and re-orienting the discourse of that economy as a unique object of analysis.
Book Synopsis The Rise of Women Farmers and Sustainable Agriculture by : Carolyn Sachs
Download or read book The Rise of Women Farmers and Sustainable Agriculture written by Carolyn Sachs and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound shift is occurring among women working in agriculture - they are increasingly seeing themselves as farmers, not only as the wives or daughters of farmers. In this book, farm women in the northeastern United States describe how they got into farming and became successful entrepreneurs despite the barriers they encountered in agricultural institutions, farming communities, and even their own families. The authors' feminist agrifood systems theory (FAST) values women's ways of knowing and working in agriculture and has the potential to shift how farmers, agricultural professionals, and anyone else interested in farming think about gender and sustainability, as well as to change how feminist scholars and theorists think about agriculture.--COVER.
