Farming While Black
Author: Leah PennimanPublisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603587616
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
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.--AMAZON.

Do USDA Farm Program Participants Contribute to Soil Erosion?
Author: K. H. ReichelderferPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Soil conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Extract: Only about one-third of U.S. cropland with excessive soil erosion rates is operated by farmers who might be influenced to reduce erosion if changes were made in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's commodity and soil conservation programs. The present commodity programs may conflict with conservation programs by encouraging the cultivation of erosive crops. Efforts to increase the consistency of USDA commodity and conservation programs would contribute little to overcoming the Nation's total erosion problems. Such efforts, however, should balance conservation objectives with objectives for farm income, commodity prices, production, and export.

Redistributing Farm Program Benefits
Author: Robert D. ReinselPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture and state
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
Dissatisfaction with current farm programs stems from a variety of factors, including the high government costs of these programs. Policymakers have many reasons for recommending changes. These programs have resulted in excess production and large storage programs, acreage reduction programs, direct payments, and subsidies to export markets. Many policymakers conclude that current programs are not redistributing income in an appropriate manner or may not be needed to redistribute income. As a result, many methods for cutting government costs and redistributing benefits have been suggested . This bulletin explains three of the most frequently discussed: capping payments, targeting benefits to certain groups, and decoupling program payments from production.
