Horta Comunitária e Quintais Produtivos da Comunidade Coelho Atikum Jurema e os Desafios da Covid-19 / Community Garden and Productive Backyards of the Coelho Atikum Jurema Community and the Challenges of Covid-19

A pandemia de Covid-19 gerou grandes mudanças na forma de comercializar os produtos da agricultura familiar. Foram dois anos de perdas e incertezas, mas também de redefinição das formas de produção e comercialização dos produtos da agricultura familiar. Neste contexto encontra-se a Comunidade Coelho Atikum Jurema, que, após anos de luta, implantou um projeto de horta comunitária e quintais produtivos. Neste espaço os agricultores familiares passaram a cultivar, de forma orgânica, e baseado na agricultura Atikum, espécies de olerícolas, mediante uma gestão coletiva e parental. Com o objetivo de identificar como a horta comunitária foi afetada pela Covid-19, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, qualiquantitativa, no período de setembro a dezembro de 2021, onde foi possível identificar uma série de adversidades enfrentadas pela comunidade em adaptar-se ao mercado que surgiu como consequência das regras de convívio social, impostas em decorrência da Covid-19, as quais impactaram diretamente nas técnicas mercadológicas empregadas pela comunidade.---The Covid-19 pandemic generated major changes in the way in which family farming products are sold. There were two years of losses and uncertainties, but also of redefining the ways of production and marketing of family farm products. In this context is the Coelho Atikum Jurema Community, which, after years of struggle, implemented a project for a community garden and productive backyards. In this space, family farmers started to cultivate, organically, and based on Atikum agriculture, vegetable species, through collective and parental management. In order to identify how the community garden was affected by Covid-19, a descriptive, qualitative and quantitative research was carried out from September to December 2021, where it was possible to identify a series of adversities faced by the community in adapting to the market that emerged as a result of the rules of social interaction, imposed as a result of Covid-19, which directly impacted the marketing techniques used by the community.

Irish Organics, Innovation and Farm Collaboration: A Pathway to Farm Viability and Generational Renewal

The family farm has been the pillar of rural society for decades, stabilising rural economies and strengthening social and cultural traditions. Nonetheless, family farm numbers across Europe are declining as farmers endeavour to overcome issues of climate change, viability, farm structural change and intergenerational farm succession. Issues around farm viability and a lack of innovative agricultural practices play a key role in succession decisions, preventing older farmers from passing on the farm, and younger farmers from taking up the mantel. A multifunctional farming environment, however, increasingly encourages family farms to embrace diversity and look towards innovative and sustainable practices. Across the European Union, organic farming has always been a strong diversification option, and although, historically, its progress was limited within an Irish context, its popularity is growing. To examine the impact of organic farm diversification on issues facing the Irish farm family, this paper draws on a qualitative case study with a group of Irish organic farmers engaged in the Maximising Organic Production System (MOPS) EIP-AGRI Project. The case study was constructed using a phased approach where each stage shaped the next. This started with a desk-based analysis, then moving on to semi-structured interviews and a focus group, which were then consolidated with a final feedback session. Data gathering occurred in mid to late 2020. Research results reveal the uptake of innovative practices not only improve farm viability, but also encourage the next generation of young farmers to commit to the family farm and consider farming long-term.

Horizon Volume and Being

Drawing is an innovative practice that provides architects an emancipated spatial apparatus freed from capitalistic pressures such as, deadline, utility and profitability. Through an immersive act to which I refer as experiential criticism, my practice materializes a 1:1 drawing operation with a relative capacity to unite or react or interact with the latent dimensions of the inherited landscape – the post-industrial remains of capitalism and the Midwestern family farm legacies. Utilizes a range of domains as means of exploring not only the tangible but the intangible nature of such material cultivations, the work is based on a series of modulated experimental actions. Reflecting on two bodies of work, Perforated Horizon and InsideOute, this content proposal will consider the practice of drawing as a means of observation and teaching specific to volume, materiality, context and time.

Sustainable Family Farming Futures: Exploring the Challenges of Family Farm Decision Making through an Emotional Lens of ‘Belonging’

This paper illustrates the importance of moving beyond an economic focus, and towards an emotional one, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of why farmers can be reluctant to retire and/or pass their farm onto the next generation. We report on a two-phase qualitative study of family farm decision-making processes in Northern Ireland, drawing on 62 in-depth oral life history interviews with farmers, farmers’ spouses, and farm successors. In an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the emotional aspects of retirement and succession decision-making processes, and their relationship with place belonging, in the first phase of this research we employed an innovative ‘Work and Talk’ method, whereby interviews were conducted while shadowing, or in some cases, co-working, with farmers on their land. The second phase of this research responded to restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, and involved remote telephone or online interviews with family farm members. This research revealed the complex relationships between a ‘longing for belonging’ and emotional attachment to the family farm, and the challenges associated with patrilineal farming structures, expectations and identities, in planning for succession. The emotional impacts of strained relationships with policy makers around support for retirement emerged as a surprisingly dominant theme throughout the interview process, suggesting the need for greater emphasis on the emotional aspects of farming retirement and succession planning to inform future rural development policies targeted towards the sustainability of family farms.
