520 3 _aThis book focuses on labour used in agriculture in the USA, Canada and Australia. Changes in the hired farm workforce, area studies and community impacts and responses, and the need for community services, are discussed. It is divided into 3 sections. Section 1 provides an overview of changes in agricultural employment in developed countries, trends in the farm workforce, and the effects of technology on labour use in production agriculture. Section 2 presents a series of studies from different disciplinary perspectives that focus on the issues faced by farm labourers, their employers and local communities. Section 3 examines the health and safety of the farm worker population. The book concludes with a comparison of 2 of the major data sources used. It consists of 18 chapters and is indexed.
