Gressier Catie (53 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Driving through the countryside, you may have noticed that nowadays it's paddock after paddock of merino sheep, while virtually every cow lining up for milking is black and white. Your neighbours' backyard chooks are likely to be Isa Browns. You probably can't even remember the last time you saw a pig, because they're all hidden away in sheds. An extinction crisis is quietly unfolding on our farms. Since mid-last century, advancements in animal husbandry have resulted in the global adoption of a small number of fast-growing, high-yielding livestock types. While performance and profitability gains have been extraordinary, they have led to the extinction of a unique livestock breed globally each month for over three decades. This book tells the story of the Australian farmers working hard to save the remaining heritage breeds of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Gressier argues that heritage breed farmers are motivated by one of the most powerful conservation tools we have: love.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores the cultural and economic conditions fuelling the popularity of the polarizing Paleo diet in Australia. Based on ethnographic research in Melbourne and Sydney, Catie Gressier recounts the compelling narratives of individuals struggling with illness and weight issues. She argues that 'going Paleo' provides a sense of agency and means of resistance to the neoliberal policies and practices underpinning the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases. From its nostalgic constructions of the past, to the rise of anti-elite sentiments inherent in new forms of health populism, Gressier provides a nuanced understanding of the Paleo diet's contemporary appeal.…
