‘Even if I won the lottery, I’d still work in solar’: Why green jobs appeal to tradespeople who are not passionate environmentalists
Despite the emergence of new green jobs, many workers are reluctant to pursue these career pathways because they do not consider themselves environmentalists or are concerned about experiencing job insecurity in potentially low-paying positions. While existing literature suggests that individuals with strong environmental values are more likely to pursue environmentally sustainable work, less is understood about what would drive people into green…
“You’re Just Stuck in a Hole, Really”: Mechanisms of Structural Racism Through Migrant Agricultural Worker Housing in Canada
Worldwide, migrant agricultural workers face poor housing conditions and related health challenges. A growing body of research has documented the substandard housing often occupied by this largely racialized population. Yet limited health research has examined mechanisms of structural racism that determine this group’s poor housing and health. Drawing on interviews with 151 migrant farmworkers in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada, we documente…
Housing, health equity, and global capitalist power: Migrant farmworkers in Canada
Health scholars are becoming increasingly attuned to the intimate ties between a person's housing and their access to mental and physical health. However, existing models for understanding the link between housing and health equity do not adequately theorize why inequities arise and persist, who benefits from these social arrangements, and how they operate transnationally. How do domestic and global dynamics of political economy shape housing and…
Bridging Agrarianism: The Potential of Value-Added Craft Cider Production to Support Rural Livelihoods in the Pacific Northwest
Against the decades-long trend of aging farmers and farmland consolidation in the United States and Canada, value-added farm production has been pitched as a lifeline to provide viable rural livelihoods for younger generations. How do producers perceive the possibilities and limitations of value-added craft production in supporting agrarian livelihoods? More broadly, how are contemporary structural constraints and cultural shifts shaping new agra…
Seeing the workers for the trees: Exalted and devalued manual labour in the Pacific Northwest craft cider industry
Listening to migrant workers: Should Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program be abolished
Migrant Agricultural Workers in Local and Global Contexts: Toward a Better Life
Four books published between 2013 and 2014 make a vital contribution towards understanding the political and ideological tools by which states and employers construct hyper-exploitable agricultural workers. In this review essay, we provide an assessment of how these books have advanced our understandings of migrant farm labour regimes in local and international perspectives. After presenting a synopsis of each text, we critically reflect on key l…
Rock Stars and Bad Apples: Moral Economies of Alternative Food Networks and Precarious Farm Work Regimes
Alternative food networks face both challenges and opportunities in rethinking the role of precarious employment in food system transformation. We explore how alternative food networks in British Columbia, Canada have engaged with flexible and precarious work regimes for farmworkers, including both temporary migrant workers and un(der)paid agricultural interns. Based on in-depth interviews, participant observation and document analysis, we find t…
Food sovereignty, food security and health equity: A Meta-Narrative Mapping Exercise
There has been growing policy interest in social justice issues related to both health and food. We sought to understand the state of knowledge on relationships between health equity-i.e. health inequalities that are socially produced-and food systems, where the concepts of 'food security' and 'food sovereignty' are prominent. We undertook exploratory scoping and mapping stages of a 'meta-narrative synthesis' on pathways from global food systems …
