{"product_id":"9781552669044","title":"Belongings: The Fight for Land and Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Belongings, Sally Miller illustrates how North America's commodification of land has driven us into a food security crisis and a farming crisis. Hundreds of acres of farmland are lost each day to residential development, resource extraction, high-ways and other uses, restricting the ability of fanners to supply our food needs. Why? Because farmers face ever-increasing financial risks and often have to sell their farm able land to non-agricultural users in order to make ends meet. Miller looks at the state of farmland and farmers in Canada and across the world as a way of understanding ownership, land regulation and the dire situation of our ability to produce food. Miller highlights several alternative structures of land use that are proving to be successful in Canada, and across the globe, and argues that the way in which we understand and manage food-lands needs to be reconsidered in order to achieve sustainable food systems with healthy food access for all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fernwood Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180704252144,"sku":"9781552669044","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781552669044_p0.jpg?v=1763751838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552669044","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
