Immigrant Farmers, Ethnographic Romanticism, and Untangling Food Sovereignty in Western Oregon","authors":"Alex Korsunsky","doi":"10.1111/cuag.12258","DOIUrl":"10.1111/cuag.12258","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Immigrants—especially those from farmworker or campesino backgrounds—have gained attention as promising recruits for a new generation of sustainable farmers. Nonprofits promoting this aspirational vision of food justice link sustainability to empowered workers and communities of color, and to the preservation or revival of (agri)cultural traditions. I present findings from ongoing research showing that Oregon nonprofit food sovereignty initiatives training Mexican immigrant farmers have achieved successes as cultural, community building, and educational programs, but have struggled to produce viable farm businesses. I contrast these farmers with the less ecologically oriented and less self-consciously “cultural” immigrant farmers who work without organizational support in the same region, and who find an aspirational agrarian good life in more conventional agricultural practices. I argue that activist and academic formulations of food sovereignty linking peasant heritage, sustainability, labor rights, and immigration justice may lead scholars to overstate immigrant farmers' actual propensity for \"alternative\" agriculture and ignore those immigrant farmers who fail to conform to this ideal.</p>","PeriodicalId":54150,"journal":{"name":"Culture Agriculture Food and Environment","volume":"42 2","pages":"114-124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/cuag.12258","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74704156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"More than Money: Barriers to Food Security on a College Campus","authors":"Nicole D. Peterson,&nbsp;Andrea Freidus","doi":"10.1111/cuag.12252","DOIUrl":"10.1111/cuag.12252","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Studies have shown that many college students are experiencing food insecurity and that the reasons for this are multifactorial. Students are unable to acquire adequate food to meet their needs because of limited money, time, transportation, and other factors. However, food insecurity rates are almost always assessed by using the USDA’s food security survey module, which frames the barriers to food access as purely financial by relying entirely on items that explicitly ask about a financial barrier to food security, rather than any other possible barriers. Using survey and interview data collected in collaboration with our campus food pantry and undergraduate student researchers from 2015 to 2019, we show that student food insecurity is a result of complex factors that go beyond financial limitations. We argue that the USDA measure is insufficient for fully assessing the prevalence of college student food insecurity because it presupposes a financial cause for food insecurity and then undercounts those who are food insecure for other reasons.</p>","PeriodicalId":54150,"journal":{"name":"Culture Agriculture Food and Environment","volume":"42 2","pages":"125-137"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/cuag.12252","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72714526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decline in African American fishermen since that period has been attributed to increased fishing costs, little access to capital, and a reluctance to have children work in labor-intensive fisheries professions (Blount, <i>MAST (Maritime Studies)</i>, 5, 2007, 5). Additionally, fluctuations in commercial landings may have had a negative influence. This study tested these hypotheses by comparing first-hand accounts from current and former African American fishermen and their families with trends in Georgia fisheries data (1950–2015). Analyses of the histories and landings data indicated that African Americans fished the most abundant species during the years described by the participants (1950–1985) and that reasons for fishing or not fishing could be classified into 8 major themes related to work experience, Gullah Geechee values, and generational shifts.</p>","PeriodicalId":54150,"journal":{"name":"Culture Agriculture Food and Environment","volume":"42 1","pages":"36-50"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/cuag.12248","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91841198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
