These settlements shed light on why access to successful farming has been so often limited to white men and/or families, and significantly this has led to a change for opportunities in the way the USDA supports famers from diverse backgrounds. With chapters focusing on each settlement Jett provides an overview of the USDA before diving into a closer discussion of the four key settlements, involving African American farmers (Pigford), Native Americans (Keepseagle), Woman famers (Love) and Latino(a) farmers (Garcia), and the similarities between each. This title places and emphasis on what is happening in farming culture today, drawing connections between these four settlements and the increasing attention on urban farming, community gardens, farmers markets, organic farming and the slow food movement, through to the larger issues of food justice and access to food. Fighting for Farming Justice will be of interest to scholars of food justice and the farming arena, as well as those in the fields of Agricultural Economics, Civil Rights Law and Ethic Studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Department of Agriculture $x Management. 610 17 $a United States. $b Department of Agriculture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01852329 650 0 $a Discrimination in agriculture $z United States. 650 0 $a Minority farmers $x Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a Class actions (Civil procedure) $z United States. 650 0 $a Agricultural administration $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Agriculture and state $z United States. 650 7 $a Agriculture and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801722 650 7 $a Class actions (Civil procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863419 650 7 $a Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007141 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jett, Terri. $t Fighting for farming justice $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9780429401053 $w (DLC) 2020035362 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019023248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA636FDC9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
