Farming and Living Well:. Work, Relationships, and Fields of Strength
The monograph Farming and Living Well: Work, Relationships, and Fields of Strength explores what it means to live well and sustain well-being where work, family life and responsibility for the farm are closely intertwined. Across thirteen interdisciplinary contributions, the authors examine how working and living conditions shape the well-being of people who farm and their capacity to respond and act. Alongside everyday pressures, they consider relationships, access to support and the wider social and institutional conditions that can ease or intensify the demands of work and life. Drawing on Slovenian and international research and a range of methodological approaches, they focus particularly on the distribution of responsibility, risk and resources, and on the extent to which people who farm can influence decisions affecting their work and lives. The book is intended for researchers, practitioners and others involved in developing support and policy in agriculture, health and rural development.
