The Life Organic : A Minor Field Study on the Socio-Economical Consequences of Small-Scale Organic Farming in Northeast Brazil
(2005)Human Ecology
- Abstract
- This Minor Field Study aims to examine how small-scale farmers in Northeast Brazil experience the transition towards organic farming mainly in regard to economy and quality of life but also considering gender equality and national migration. The author finds that organic farming seems to create new meanings and discussion areas for the people involved. Organic farming may also be of relevance considering livelihood as it makes an alternative niche available for the earning of a living in a rural area where urbanisation is high.
