Developed by leading authors in the field, this comprehensive and definitive theorization of the concept of the good farmer offers a rich and multifaceted exploration. By integrating historical analysis, critical critique of contemporary applications of good farming concepts, and innovative case studies, it provides a solid foundation for future research.

The concept of the good farmer has gained prominence in recent years as a response to the need for a deeper understanding of agriculture beyond mere attitudes and economic considerations. This book delves into the significance of agricultural production from a social, cultural, and economic perspective, highlighting its role in shaping landscapes, environments, gender relations, society, and as a tool for resistance.

Through its examination of the history and theoretical foundations of the good farmer concept, The Good Farmer sheds light on the often-unconscious assumptions underlying food and agricultural policy that rely on cultural norms, identity, and predefined notions of what is deemed good. By unpacking these assumptions, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape food systems and agricultural practices.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, professionals, and policymakers interested in food and agriculture, rural development, and the broader social and environmental implications of agricultural practices. It provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the good farmer concept, offering a framework for understanding the complexities of agricultural production and its role in shaping our world.
