Why is it important?
It is important to learn how women are shaping agriculture and finding openings as independent farming becomes more difficult to sustain in the face of industrial farming's expansion in France and Europe.
Perspectives
This is a small chapter from a two-hundred year study of one farm attempting to survive in a larger industry. It matters to see how the environment and market changes due to global political and economic crisis shapes the people who grow our food.
