R SOC355 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Place Shifting, Urban Agriculture, Environmental Values
Document Summary
More environmental values of one way or another. Let"s people feel good about themselves, producers and consumers. Producers: an appreciation for growing food but also recognizing and valuing some of the other important aspects of their land (ex. wetlands) Creates closer connections b/w producers and consumers. More expensive, local food systems can"t really feed the city. Lose some of the economies of scale = things become more expensive, therefore the people who participate in these kinds of economies are wealthier. A strong version of post-productivism would have us all eating things that are seasonal, that makes things di cult. Chapter 14, the social transformation of agriculture (last chapter on the idea of identities) Shift in values embedded in farming and agricultural land. Driving forces are external and internal to rural communities. They manifest in many di erent ways of transformations. Construction of new identities for agriculture by the non-farming populations pg. 293.
