Title: | Disrupted gender roles in Australian agriculture: first generation female farmers’ construction of farming identity | Contributor(s): | Newsome, Lucie (author) | Publication Date: | 2021-09 | Early Online Version: | 2021-01-24 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10460-021-10192-3 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/31352 | Abstract: | This article examines the experiences of female farmers in the Australian context who neither married into nor were born into farming and how they construct their farmer identity. Drawing on interviews with seventeen first generation female farmers it demonstrates a detraditionalized farmer identity created in response to concern for environmental and social sustainability. They are enabled by an online, global community of practice and shifting narratives of what constitutes responsible farming. Participants leveraged their skills from previous occupations to their farming enterprises to internalize a managerial and entrepreneurial farming identity. First generation female farmers have been empowered as new actors in Australian agriculture, reflecting a disruption in traditional patterns of gendered privilege. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Agriculture and Human Values, 38(3), p. 803-814 | Publisher: | Springer Netherlands | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1572-8366 0889-048X |
