Abstract

This chapter examines a small yet significant body of recently published English-language picturebooks that represent children’s contributions to regenerative agriculture as valuable—even integral—to the increasingly urgent work of developing new, sustainable agricultural practices. Viewed through a child-centered lens using the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, works such as On Grandpa’s Farm, Sleep Tight Farm, and Anywhere Farm portray children as valuable partners in agricultural activities, collaborating with adults to ensure food security on a small but impactful scale. Such representations have immense inspirational potential not only for swelling the ranks of the “Good Food Movement” with enthusiastic new participants of all ages, but also for planting seeds of hope in children’s minds. A crucial group of recently published picturebooks about farming extends the empowering promise that children can participate in saving the world right now through ethical food production—while simultaneously creating a healthier future for everyone.
伟大的事业
本章考察了最近出版的一小部分重要的英语绘本,这些绘本代表了儿童对再生农业的贡献,这些贡献对于发展新的可持续农业实践的日益紧迫的工作是有价值的,甚至是不可或缺的。从《联合国儿童权利公约》的原则出发,从以儿童为中心的角度来看,《爷爷的农场》、《睡得很紧的农场》和《任何地方的农场》等作品将儿童描绘成农业活动中宝贵的合作伙伴,与成年人合作,以小而有影响力的规模确保粮食安全。这样的表现具有巨大的鼓舞潜力,不仅可以扩大“美食运动”的队伍,吸引各个年龄段的热情新参与者,还可以在孩子们的心中播下希望的种子。最近出版的一组重要的关于农业的图画书扩展了赋予权力的承诺,即儿童现在可以通过道德食品生产参与拯救世界,同时为每个人创造一个更健康的未来。
