Series: Perspectives on Rural Policy and Planning
Pages: 192
Synopsis: The quest for sustainable farming, with its language of multifunctionality and environmental protection, is now confronted by the twin challenges of food security and energy security within the context of climate change. However there is no real understanding of what kind of agricultural industry we now have following years of restructuring and repositioning. We may have a reasonable knowledge of the economics of the industry but what about its people? Is this an industry socially and culturally equipped for the era of climate change and the challenge of food security? Understanding the social in the context of food security and sustainability is vital. Who are today's farmers and land owners? How do they see their role? How connected are they to the wider drivers of policy, consumer demand, science and technology? In answering these questions the authors range into areas not normally associated with studies of agriculture.For instance, the new emphasis on wellbeing and happiness leads to an examination of both the role of 'happy' farmers in responding to the new challenges and possibilities but also to the wider social 'offer' that agriculture makes, as society as a whole seeks to re-adjust to the realities of a less carbonised society.
