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.--CoverWomen farmersSustainable agricultureWomen farmers.Sustainable agriculture.338.1082Sachs Carolyn E.1950-,1057252Barbercheck MaryBrasier KathyKiernan Nancy EllenTerman Anna RachelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910493155903321The rise of women farmers and sustainable agriculture2492399UNINA
