Being with Donkeys
This paper explores the interwoven lives of donkeys and the people who depend on them for their livelihoods in central Ethiopia. Drawing on data from 12 participatory workshops, insights were elicited into the ways human co-workers value and treat their donkey co-workers. Methodologically, Participatory Rural Appraisal ( PRA ) and Appreciative Inquiry ( AI ) techniques were merged to explore the complex and multi-dimensional contributions donkeys…
It's cheaper than a dead cow’
This study offers a detailed and original assessment of the practices of prescription veterinary medicine use on UK dairy farms. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance as a global threat has necessitated an increasing focus on medicine use in agriculture. While an abundance of studies have recently emerged to demonstrate and evaluate strategies for medicine reduction, this paper seeks to understand the context and the on-farm culture within wh…
Animal Geographies
Too much geographical explanation has simply ignored the impact of nonhumans on the geography of humans. It has also failed to acknowledge the multitude of ways in which humans, in their sociospatial practices, impact on animals. Animal geography offers, on the one hand, a concern with how we use animals to define us (and our spaces) by their difference and, on the other, a more radical attention to ways in which those differences actually matter…
Animal geographies III
There is no animal geography without ethics. For some, this ethical endeavour extends to politics and includes engaged activism or to individual commitment such as not to eat meat, not to ‘own’ a pet, not to visit zoos and so on. This is a personal choice but, at a broader level, animal geography, in recognizing animals as co-respondent subjects, gives them a moral placing within the academy that, arguably, they rarely enjoyed before. This final …

Animal geographies II
Animal geographies challenge not only the place and placing of the human and the animal but, critically, the methods we use to engage with both in relation. This second review considers the various methodological implications of a more-than-human geography and explores the innovative approaches that animal geographers employ to speak with non-human animals
Modifying and commodifying farm animal welfare
Animal geographies I
Animal geographies has emerged over the last 15 years as a lively and provocative area of current human/non-human geographical research and scholarship. Yet, while the 'animal turn' has arguably impacted widely across a range of social sciences and the humanities, for 'human' geography it offers what is potentially a far more fundamental and profound reconfiguration of the discipline's traditional ontological and epistemological reach, not least …
Healthy, Happy and Humane
There has been a dramatic expansion and diversification of knowledge, expertise and expectation associated with farm animal welfare and we witness its increasing adoption within legislative and policy strategies. This article examines how the understanding of what constitutes farm animal welfare and how it should be enhanced, has shifted since it first entered the modern political arena in the sixties. It explores farm animal welfare as a critica…

Individuation, the Mass and Farm Animals
The singular 'farm' is increasingly a place of ever-greater multitudes, a deceptive and porous whole that is, in so many ways, very much less than the sum of its constituent parts. What might stand as a seemingly fixed entity or unit is, in reality, a constant flow and passage of multiple life ( zoe) and individual lives ( bios). To borrow from Heraclitus' attributed aphorism, you can never really go into the same farm twice. Yet farms are, argua…
One slash of light, then gone
Animals are defined by movement. Animals are movement. As Akira Lippit remarks: “The figure of the animal has always been destined to serve as the symbol of movement itself”. Animals never stop moving, never stop moving us, never stop moving across and between the frontiers by which we set them apart. In the invigorated engagement between the social sciences and animal worlds, movement and the sharing of movement offer us the potential for origin…

Geographies of food
This third and final 'Geographies of food' review is based on an online blog conversation provoked by the first and second reviews in the series (Cook et al., 2006; 2008a). Authors of the work featured in these reviews - plus others whose work was not but should have been featured - were invited to respond to them, to talk about their own and other people's work, and to enter into conversations about - and in the process review - other/new work w…
The lively process of interdisciplinarity
Food chain research offers particular opportunities for the development of interdisciplinary problematics and approaches. For example, the issue of ‘quality’ cannot be interpreted solely from natural or from social science perspectives but rather requires a consilient and interdisciplinary vision. Suggesting a ‘ground upwards’ approach, building upon transitional objects and networks of practice and drawing upon a recently completed research proj…
Safe from the Wolf
By using the example of the reintroduction of wolves to the southern French Alps, this paper explores the competing 'philosophies of nature' that are revealed when agendas of biodiversity enhancement and protection conflict with notions of biosecurity. Tracing the shifting status of wolves as threat and hazard to emblems of reconstituted naturality, I argue that the reintroduction of wolves disturbs notions of both biodiversity and biosecurity, m…
Product, Process and Place
Considerable academic interest now revolves around the recomposition of specific (or ‘alternative’) food chains based on notions of quality, territory and social embeddedness.A key to such recomposition is the marketing of ‘difference’ through a range of accreditation and labelling schemes. Using examples from Europe and North America, this paper examines how ‘difference’ is constructed by producers and other actors in the food supply chain by co…
Growing Goods
Within Europe and North America the integration of environmental concerns into agriculture has become a domain almost exclusively defined by public policy. In this paper it is contended that we are currently witnessing a new direction in attempts to reconcile agricultural production and environmental protection, in which the market is playing an increasingly important role. The paper takes as its focus the rapidly expanding number of what are ter…
The local food sector
“Local food” is attracting considerable policy and public interest, but evidence is lacking about the emerging contours of the local food sector. This paper offers a preliminary assessment of the local food sector in the county of Gloucestershire. Based on interviews with farmers and retailers, it investigates the scope of local food production in the county, assesses the nature of the local food chain and considers the potential of local food pr…
De la terre au territoire
This article seeks to explore how the two dominant policy agendas of postwar rural France, agricultural modernisation and aménagement du territoire, have, over the last few years, taken a decisive turn towards new forms of intervention and new spatial configurations. The Contrats territoriaux d'exploitation and the Pays collectively represent a reaffirmation of territorial difference, individuality and identity. In doing so, both have challenged …

Farm Animal Welfare
Within society, farm animal welfare is moving up the policy and moral agenda as many of the industrial processes associated with animal farming are now being called into question. In the academy, there is growing intellectual interest in the relationship of humanity to animality and the porosity or otherwise of the biologically and socially constructed boundaries between them. This paper uses the farm animal welfare debate to explore changes in s…

Re-creating rural territories
This paper explores the impact of the European Union's leader policy within France. Considering, in turn, the territorial, developmental and, finally, political effects of leader, the paper demonstrates that leader schemes occupy an often highly complex position with respect to a series of internal French policy agendas linked to political decentralization, spatial planning and the gradual shift away from a long-dominant agrarian conceptualizatio…

British home owners and housing change in rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 home owners in France, expansion in British property ownership is shown to have increased the rural housing stock and to have improved rural housing quality. In all, 30 per cent of British home owners in France have added at least one dwelling to the housing stock, mostly by restoring a derelict property or bringing an unwanted farm building into residential use. Amongst other property owners, 55 per cent have undertake…
Retired British Home Owners in Rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 British home owners in France, this study examines the origins, destinations and reasons for purchasing homes in rural France. In doing so it compares first home retired households with their pre-retirement counterparts and with second home owners who are retired. No notable differences are found in the geographical distribution or reasons for selecting home locations between these groups. However, patterns of retiremen…
Geographical Differences in British Property Acquisitions in Rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 British home owners in five departements in France, this study explores the geography of first and second home acquisitions in terms of differences between origin and destination area. Examining the reasons why people buy homes in rural France, it is shown that those from South West England mainly move to France permanently because of its cheaper cost of living, while those from the southern counties of South East Engla…

Scholarly study of the European Community (EC) has concentrated on the macrolevel process of regional integration to the neglect of its ‘internal’ policy processes. A newly emerging literature on EC public policy is beginning to address this imbalance, but it is largely focused on the development of policy outputs culminating in the adoption of policies by the Council of Ministers, rather than the long-term outcomes of policy at the national and …
