Download or read book The Lean Farm written by Ben Hartman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation To many people today, using the words "factory" and "farm" in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor. Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed on progressive farms around the world. Using examples from his own family's one-acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean practices in each step of their production chain, from starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees and selling goods. While the intended audience for this book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing local food movement, Hartman's prescriptions for high-value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power of lean in their production processes.

Book Synopsis The Reluctant Farmer by : Debbie S. Dougherty
Download or read book The Reluctant Farmer written by Debbie S. Dougherty and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few social issues more pressing than the seemingly disparate issues of social class and safe food. At this point in history, food production, work, and social class are intertwined in a way that puts our collective health at risk, and discourse about food production has become ‘classed language’, designed to show one’s place in the social stratosphere. Consequently, this shift in the function of discourse about food production has focused attention away from the three major issues facing the farming industry. First, farmers need to concern themselves with feeding the world’s hungry populations. Second, farmers need to produce healthy food. Third, farmers need to be able to feed their own families.To illustrate the relationship between social class, work, and food production the author uses her own experience as an academic and a farmer, as well as interviews with a family farmer, an organic farmer, and a family who are agribusiness farmers. The author concludes that farming needs to be more diverse in order to feed hungry people around the world, and produce high quality, healthy food for the regional population where the food is produced. Several suggestions are provided that can be used to help farmers achieve this.The writer’s gentle sense of humour and story telling approach make the book accessible to a wide range of readers. First, it would be a useful book for advanced undergraduates studying social justice, social class, or organizational communication. Second, the book will provide the material for the high level of conversation necessary in a graduate level course. Third, the book will be valuable to intelligent people concerned about both social justice and healthy food production.

Book Synopsis Farming While Black by : Leah Penniman
Download or read book Farming While Black written by Leah Penniman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Farming While Black is the first comprehensive "how to" guide for aspiring African-heritage growers to reclaim their dignity as agriculturists and for all farmers to understand the distinct, technical contributions of African-heritage people to sustainable agriculture. At Soul Fire Farm, author Leah Penniman co-created the Black and Latino Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program as a container for new farmers to share growing skills in a culturally relevant and supportive environment led by people of color. Farming While Black organizes and expands upon the curriculum of the BLFI to provide readers with a concise guide to all aspects of small-scale farming, from business planning to preserving the harvest. Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm, a national leader in the food justice movement." --
