Encountering Food Systems
This essay centers on an encounter with an idea, one that has become central to teaching—and activism—around food and agriculture—explored through an ongoing conversation. Neither of us presumed to have a full understanding of the history and uses of the term “food systems.” However, to understand its potential in teaching about food and agriculture, we considered how and when each of us—sociologists by training, but interdisciplinary by necessit…

Impacts of Farm Structural Change on Farmers' Social Ties
Many studies have examined how changes in extractive and basic industries affect natural-resource-dependent rural communities. Most of these studies have used aggregate data to explore the impacts of natural resource dependency and change on indicators of economic well-being. However, there are many reasons to believe that changes in the size and structure of natural resource industries also affect the dynamics of social life in these communities…
Social Learning and Innovation at Retail Farmers' Markets
Retail farmers' markets are seen as key institutions in a more 'civic agriculture,' but little is known about how they promote small business entrepreneurship. Drawing on research in economic sociology and economic geography, this paper examines the role of social learning in vendor innovation. Data from a 1999 mail survey of farmers' market vendors in California, New York and Iowa show that business innovation, as represented by intensity of ven…

It did not take us long to discover that the 'field' of qualitative research is far from a unified set of principles promulgated by networked groups of scholars. In fact, we have discovered that the field of qualitative research is defined primarily by a series of essential tensions, contradictions, and hesitations. These tensions work back and forth among competing definitions and conceptions of the field.Further, these tensions exist in a less-…
Producing More Milk on Fewer Farms
Neoclassical theory in economics has served as the guiding paradigm for agricultural development in the United States. At one level, this model emphasizes the substitution of capital in the form of machinery and chemicals for land and labor. At another level, the paradigm calls for the introduction of mass production techniques, such as product standardization and the routinization of labor processes. Using data on dairy farms and dairy processor…

Experience with NIH Peer Review
In the United States, peer review is central to the process by which many government agencies select research proposals for funding.' Although several different agency versions of peer review are practiced,2 they share one characteristic: Scientists judge both the potential value of proposed research projects and the ability of proposers to perform the studies. The premise is self-fulfilling. If scientists identified as peer specialists are best …
