"No understanding of this state is possible without an understanding of its agriculture; that's how important this subject is."—Gerald Haslam, author of Workin' Man Blues: Country Music in California "A fascinating, intriguing, and sometimes even humorous exploration of California's agriculture, from broccoli to marijuana and beyond. At long last, a book everyday people can read to understand the state's biggest industry."—Louis Warren, University of California, Davis

Download or read book A Profile of California Farmworkers written by Richard Mines and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of California and the California Employment Development Department interviewed 1,286 farmworkers throughout the state in an effort to establish an up-to-date profile. Each of EDD's 42 farmworker offices interviewed 30 workers, selected in a manner to reflect the approximate number and characteristics of field- workers involved in each office area's agriculture. Most of the 1,286 farmworkers surveyed in 1983 were immigrants: 80 percent were persons born abroad who later entered the United States. Most of these immigrants - 73 percent - were born and raised in Mexico. US. born farmworkers (20 percent) and those born in other countries (7 percent) composed the rest of the sample. The picture that emerges from this survey is that settled Mexican families do most of the state's farm work for high hourly but low annual earnings. Efforts to restructure farm jobs so that fewer workers could be employed for longer periods would alleviate employer fears of labor shortages and raise farmworker earnings.

Download or read book Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes written by H. Scott Butterfield and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world population grows, so does the demand for food, putting unprecedented pressure on agricultural lands. In many desert dryland regions, however, intensive cultivation is causing their productivity to decline precipitously. "Rewilding" the least productive of these landscapes offers a sensible way to reverse the damage, recover natural diversity, and ensure long-term sustainability of remaining farms and the communities they support. This accessibly written, groundbreaking contributed volume is the first to examine in detail what it would take to retire eligible farmland and restore functioning natural ecosystems. The lessons in Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes will be useful to conservation leaders, policymakers, groundwater agencies, and water managers looking for inspiration and practical advice for solving the complicated issues of agricultural sustainability and water management.
