  1. Women, race and place in US Agriculture.Ryanne Pilgeram, Katherine Dentzman & Paul Lewin - 2022 - Agriculture and Human Values 39 (4):1341-1355.
    Research on women in U.S. agriculture highlights how, despite real challenges, women have made and continue to make spaces for themselves in this male-dominated profession. We argue that, partly due to data accessibility limitations, this work has tended to use white women’s experiences in agriculture as universal. Analyzing micro-data from the 2017 Census of Agriculture, this paper offers descriptive statistics about women and race in U.S. agriculture. We examine numerous characteristics of U.S. farms, including their spatial distribution, the average number (...)

  • Navigating a gendered ecosystem: the role of entrepreneurial capital in the business strategies of single-owner women farmers.Stevens Azima, Fanny Lepage, Karima Afif & Jessie Greene - forthcoming - Agriculture and Human Values:1-17.
    This paper investigates how the business models adopted by single-owner women farmers are impacted by the entrepreneurial ecosystem in which they operate. We explored these interactions from the perspective of entrepreneurial capital to better understand the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs starting their own farms. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 single-owner women farmers in Quebec. Our results indicate that single-owner women farmers often start farming at a mid-point in their careers, are motivated by strong social and agroecological values, but (...)

  • "I wonder if I'm being [a] Karen”: Analyzing rural–urban farmer network building.Michaela Hoffelmeyer - 2024 - Agriculture and Human Values 41 (4):1557-1571.
    Farmers, especially those within historically underserved populations, utilize networks to access educational training, community support, and market opportunities. Through a case study of the Pennsylvania Women's Agriculture Network's three-year Women's Rural–Urban Network (WRUN) initiative, this research analyzes the process of developing solidarity across geographic and racial lines while building a statewide farmers' network. Applying White's (2018) Collective Agency Community Resilience (CACR) theoretical framework to this initiative offers a way to evaluate how socially marginalized groups in agriculture build farmers’ networks to (...)

  • Applying the feminist agrifood systems theory (fast) to U.S. organic, value-added, and non-organic non-value-added farms.Katherine Dentzman, Ryanne Pilgeram & Falin Wilson - 2023 - Agriculture and Human Values 40 (3):1185-1204.
    The population of women farm operators continues to increase in the U.S. That growth, however, is mediated by research showing that women in agriculture experience persistent barriers to equality with men. The Feminist Agriculture Food Theory (FAST) developed by Sach et al. (The Rise of Women Farmers and Sustainable Agriculture, University of Iowa Press, Iowa City, (Sachs et al., The rise of women farmers and sustainable agriculture, University of Iowa Press, 2016) posits that in the face of these barriers, women (...)
