Abstract

Dit boek schetst de gevolgen van de globalisering van de economie voor plattelandsvrouwen, zowel in geïndustrialiseerde als ontwikkelingslanden. De auteur spitst zich hierbij toe op enkele aspecten van het plattelandsleven: het bezit en vruchtgebruik van grond, de oogst en het werken met dieren. De ervaringen van plattelandsvrouwen worden niet enkel beschouwd in termen van hun sekse, maar ook in termen van sociale klassen en etniciteit. Aan de hand van historisch onderzoek, schriftelijke getuigenissen van plattelandsvrouwen en diepte-interviews bewijst de auteur dat de vernieling van het leefmilieu en de economische ontwikkeling ten gevolge van de globalisering de sociale en economische positie van plattelandsvrouwen vaak meer kwaad dan goed doen. Het boek eindigt met een optimistische noot: de pogingen van steeds meer vrouwen om zich te verenigen en zich samen te verzetten tegen trends en praktijken die hun bestaan op de helling zetten.

Abstract

"The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture covers major theoretical issues as well as critical empirical shifts in gender and agriculture. Gender relations in agriculture are shifting in most regions of the world with changes in the structure of agriculture, the organization of production, international restructuring of value chains, climate change, and national and multinational policy changes. This book provides a cutting-edge assessment of the field of gender and agriculture, with contributions from both leading scholars and up and coming academics as well as policymakers and practitioners. The handbook is organised into four parts: Part 1, Institutions, Markets, and Policies, Part 2, Land, Labor, and Agrarian Transformations, Part 3, Knowledge, Methods, and Access to Information, and Part 4. Farming People and Identities. Chapters address both historical subjects as well as ground-breaking work on gender and agriculture which will help to chart the future of the field. The handbook has an international focus with contributions examining issues at both the global and local level with contributors from across the world. With contributions from leading academics, policymakers and practitioners, and with a global outlook, the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture is an essential reference volume for both scholars, students and practitioners interested in gender and agriculture"--

Abstract

This book documents how COVID-19 impacts gender, agriculture, and food systems across the globe with on-the-ground accounts and personal reflections from scholars, practitioners, and community members. During the coronavirus pandemic with many people under lockdown, continual agricultural production and access to food remain essential. Women provide much of the formal and informal work in agriculture and food production, distribution, and preparation often under precarious conditions. A cadre of scholars and practitioners from across the globe provide their timely observations on these issues as well as more personal reflections on its impact on their lives and work. Four major themes emerge from these accounts and are interwoven throughout: the pervasiveness of food insecurity, the ubiquity of women's care work, food justice, and policies and research that can that can result in a resilience that reimagines the future for greater gender and intersectional equality. We identify what lessons we can learn from this global pandemic about research and practices related to gender, food, and agricultural systems to strive for more equitable arrangements. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners working on gender and food and agriculture during this global pandemic and beyond.

Abstract

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
