公开 Deposited可下载的内容
open in viewerThis project examines some of the relationships in the agricultural social networks of Central Massachusetts and their impact on the implementation of sustainable agriculture. Industrial agriculture results in many negative externalities and a fragile production system; a resilient and sustainable agricultural system has the potential to build a more robust approach to agriculture. Through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, themes of how social networks influence how individuals implement sustainable agricultural practices were identified. Our results show that the internet, economic viability, bridging of networks, and the continued renegotiation of institutional legitimacy are active dimensions of the social network that influence the implementation of sustainable agriculture.
