Oxford IMC | 07.08.2003 15:48 | Culture | Health | Oxford
The AgriCulture Project presents documentation and analysis of farming livelihoods in Oxfordshire, one of the counties in south-east England. This project is a study in social ecology: how do people become farmers, how do they live as farmers, and how do they leave farming. The landscape may be shaped by farming, but the landscape which farmers inhabit is also a social, economic, and cultural one.
