Beschreibung

Ridge Fields Flourish explores the intersection of economics, world history, and indigenous agricultural practices in the Andes. It examines how Quechua farmers adapted their traditional techniques, particularly ridge field agriculture (waru waru), to meet the demands of an evolving market economy. This agricultural system, developed by pre-Columbian societies, demonstrates both ecological benefits and productivity, providing insights into sustainable agriculture. The book traces the integration of Andean communities into regional and global markets, analyzing how increased demand for crops like potatoes and quinoa influenced farming practices. It argues that economic adaptation is a dynamic process shaped by historical context, social structures, and environmental constraints. By incorporating archival documents, ethnographic studies, and economic models, Ridge Fields Flourish offers a comprehensive perspective on agricultural adaptation.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the history and agronomy of ridge field agriculture. It then assesses changes in crop selection and land management resulting from market integration, using case studies of specific crops and regions. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the long-term consequences of market integration on Quechua agricultural systems.

Decrim: How We Decriminalized...

Kennedy Stewart

A timely, insider account of an important and controversial step in British Columbia’s strategic effort to respond to the overdose crisis. 
Canada is in the middle of an opioid crisis. Since the province of British Columbia declared a public health emergency in 2016, more than 9,400 people have died of drug poisoning in BC―an average of six people a day―with nearly 1,500 apparent opioid-related deaths in the first eight months of 2022. 
In Decrim, Kennedy Stewart, mayor of Vancouver from 2018 to 2022, recounts historic progress in addressing this crisis. January 31, 2023, is the beginning of a three-year trial period for decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of hard drugs in British Columbia, a ground-breaking change in Canada’s approach to drug use. Kennedy Stewart has written Decrim to tell the story of how this remarkable policy change came about and the enormous challenges faced by those who fought for it―including its contribution to him losing his bid for mayoral re-election. In Decrim, Stewart lays out how ending the “war on drugs” and recognizing the overdose crisis as a public health issue will help reduce stigma related to substance use, increase access to health services, and decrease harms related to criminalization in British Columbia.
