The Rise of women farmers and sustainable agriculture / Carolyn Sachs, Mary E. Barbercheck, Kathryn J. Brasier, Nancy Ellen Kiernan, and Anna Rachel Terman. by Sachs, Carolyn E., author., Barbercheck, Mary, author., Brasier, Kathy, author., Kiernan, Nancy Ellen, author., Terman, Anna Rachel, author. Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2016] Description:  xv, 196 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm Contents:  A new crop: women farmers in a shifting agriculture -- Tilling the soil for change: claiming the farmer identity -- Sowing the seeds of change: innovative paths to land, labor, and capital -- Reaping a new harvest: women farmers re-defining agriculture, community, and sustainability -- Constructing a new table: women farmers negotiate agriculture institutions and organizations, creating new agricultural networks -- From the ground up: a feminist agrifood systems theory. Summary:  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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 338.1082 Sac 2016 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
