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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly half of all farmland in the U.S. is owned by women--295,000 of them. In an enterprise traditionally dominated by men, they are taking a lead role in overhauling a complex, often dysfunctional food system. This book features eight stories of women farmers who persevere despite treacherous weather and erratic commodities markets. Smart, independent, hard-working and politically astute, they explain in their own words how and why they chose, and continue to choose, farming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of women farmers on the rise, questions circulate as to why this phenomenon is happening in a time when the overall numbers of farmers are declining. Following organic practices and being certified are getting increasingly popular in the farming community with women having greater visibility in the realm of sustainable agriculture than ever before. The basis of this study is to give women farmers who are either certified organic* or non-certified organic* a platform to tell their story and divulge barriers they face in their profession. Additionally, this study reflects on broader themes behind organic certification involving the participants’ motivations and values. The term organic can take on many meanings depending on who is being asked, so it is important to collect data on this subject straight from the source. By interviewing women who are making most of the decisions on their land clearer definitions will arise and help bridge the gap between personal meaning and perceived meaning. Their unique experiences with food and farming led them to a path that helps sustain local economies and helps local communities access a nutritious food. Their different experiences culminate in a discussion for a change in how food is valued and perceived. While their stories range in scope, they share similar themes and leave one concerned with the current state of the food chain and farm policy for local food systems

Download or read book A Bushel's Worth written by Kayann Short and published by Torrey House Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this love story of land and family, Kayann Short explores her farm roots from her grandparents' North Dakota homesteads to her own Stonebridge Farm, an organic, community-supported farm on the Colorado Front Range where small-scale, local agriculture borrows lessons of the past to cultivate sustainable communities for the future. "Scattered in among musings of local food systems, community action, family history, and current farm realities are clear moments of reflection that demonstrate Short's acumen as a writer." --Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built + Natural Environments "Short's focus on a CSA makes this memoir distinctive from other recent farm-related nonfiction." --Western American Literature Journal "A Bushel's Worth is my favorite kind of nonfiction. Not only is it about many topics close to my heart--gardening, food, family--it is a beautifully told story, and a love story at that, centered around the love of a couple, their love for the land, and a community's love for a way of life. This book forever changed my perspective and awareness as I 'walk out' in my own garden." --Katrina Kittle, author, The Blessings of the Animals "A heartfelt meditation on farm, food, and family. A Bushel's Worth tells a love story of the land and a life spent caring for it." --Hannah Nordhaus, author, The Beekeeper's Lament: How One Man and Half a Billion Honeybees Help Feed America "Kayann Short shares a passionate and often lyrical account of how she and her husband John took their first brave steps toward revitalizing a small Colorado farm and with it their lives and the community they drew around them. It is an inspiring story, a gift for all of us, both on and off the farm, who are trying to learn how to slow down our frenzied lives so that we may give ourselves to what really matters." --Gregory Spaid, author, Grace: Photographs of Rural America "With a companionable mix of literary and earthy sensibilities, Kayann Short writes with graceful, ferocious attentiveness and] finds reassurance for herself and her modern family in "the old wisdom of the fields." --John Calderazzo, author, Rising Fire: Volcanoes & Our Inner Lives " A] beautifully written and sensually rich 'ecobiography' of farm life...A Bushel's Worth is a loving natural history - of a farm, a marriage, and a way of life that has changed interestingly and dramatically over just a few generations." --Jane Shellenberger, author, Organic Gardener's Companion: Growing Vegetables in the West "The book is a substantial meal...as much about growing community as it is about growing food, and it leaves the reader with a generous bushel of instruction and inspiration on both counts." --Susan Becker, Director, Boulder Public Library Oral History Program "A Bushel's Worth: An Ecobiography eloquently depicts humans and nature coexisting and mutually benefiting not only in theory, but in actuality...where people treat each other respectfully as they gently work on and with the land." --Shelly Eberly, National Outings Leader, Sierra Club

Book excerpt: New farmers, experienced growers, budding environmentalists, and fans of natural, organic produce alike are sure to love All the Dirt. Filled with beautiful photographs and covering a wide variety of topics, from agrofuels and food sovereignty to practical tips about specific tools, All the Dirt is the must-read how-to book about small-scale organic farming. But beyond the practical applications, it is also the inspiring story of three friends who followed their dreams and became successful business partners. Authors Rachel Fisher, Heather Stretch, and Robin Tunnicliffe, co-owners of Saanich Organics, a farmer-run local food distributor, share entertaining stories of three farmers' lives, while also providing practical information about how to start a farm. They relate their personal and collective experiences as women, mothers, and farmers through anecdotes, and discuss the compelling reasons why Canada needs more organic farmers. All the Dirt proves that there is no one right way to start a farm and no single solution to any problem. But that by working together, farmers can create a resilient agriculture that is vibrant and fun, as well as economically viable. Rachel, Heather, and Robin have co-owned Saanich Organics since 2002. The business has been featured in numerous publications, including the Times Colonist, West Jet’s Up! magazine, EAT Magazine, and The Province. It has also been featured in Island on the Edge (a documentary film), as well as on CBC radio. By working cooperatively to grow and distribute top quality produce, the business has earned the respect of the farming community, the restaurant community, organic consumers, and activists.

Download or read book Agrarian Feminism written by Louise Irene Carbert and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In contrast to capitalist production, farming as household production is defined by the unity of property and labour. This unity means that production is organized through kinship and divided by gender and age. In Agrarian Feminism Louise Carbert demonstrates that farm women's opinions about feminism and politics are related to their role in agricultural production." "Farming involves a certain egalitarianism among family members. But the tensions that characterize all families are especially pronounced in farm households, where kinship, sexuality, and finances are closely interrelated. Farm women are not remunerated in wages driven by market forces, and their working conditions are not regulated through an employment contract subject to legislated labour codes. Instead, the terms of farm women's employment are established through marriage or cohabitation. The unity of work and family relations may account for the marked caution of farm women's feminist demands amid calls to save the family farm." "Farm women's proven track-record at mobilizing political participation can also instruct contemporary attempts to revitalize a sense of community. Their overriding enthusiasm for community-based service work emerges as both a collective strategy for fulfilling the larger needs of rural society and an individual strategy for personal happiness; it is simultaneously agrarian and feminist." "In Agrarian Feminism a historical review of farm women's organizations in English Canada is combined with a recent survey asking Ontario farm women for their opinions on politics, feminism, and morality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grit, Not Glamour celebrates the contributions of our foremothers who devoted their lives to farming and ranching related pursuits. Some embraced their roles; others detested the life; often their contributions were minimized or overlooked. Readers will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, (and in a couple of cases dishonest), hardworking gals who donned trousers, tucked long hair under a straw hat, nurtured plants and baby livestock, studied the markets, fretted over the weather, disseminated vital information, scraped animal dung from their boots, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start all over again. Anyone who has lived and worked on a family farm or ranch may relate to the experiences of the women who are profiled. Town dwellers and urbanites generations removed from the farm or their rural communities, who grew up hearing grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ stories, will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in any way their foremothers.
