What do women have to
do with what America eats? E v E r y t h i n g !
Farmer Jane is the ideal companion for exploring the modern opportunities in the sustainable food movement.
F
armer Jane is a compelling work about the decision- making power women have
with what their families eat, the thousands of new farms women are starting, and their jobs at numerous organizations and businesses promoting a sustainable food agenda. As farmers, chefs, educators and activists, women are changing the way we eat and farm.
Farmer Jane profiles thirty women in the sustainable food industry, describing their agriculture business models and illustrating the amazing changes they are making in how we connect with food. These advocates for creating a more holistic and nurturing food and agriculture system also answer questions on starting a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program, how to
get involved in policy at local and national levels, and how to address the different types of renewable energy and finance them.
With women increasingly owning their own farms and businesses and taking an active part in their community and governments,
Farmer Jane is the ideal companion for exploring the modern opportunities in the sustainable food movement.
