Today, the three of us have divided our work and person has a responsibility. Mark is currently working on developing a diagram of farming actions and behaviours, Tou Yia is at the library searching for information on urban farming, traditional farming and its processes and Christine is looking up contact information, making phone calls for interviews and visits.

Mark's work for the day:
Tou Yia's work for the day:
Christine's work for they day:
National Capital Commission Farm Produce Pamphlet

Group Work:
As a group we discussed the methodology and information we would like to gather from farmers. With the farming contacts that Christine will find, we will document the farmer's character profile, a day in his/her life, document their actions and ask for a narration. Along with personal interviews, I suspect we will develop an online survey to distribute to farmer's blogs.

What was found today was that the farming community (CSA: Community-Shared Agriculture) keeps an online farming blog. Direct contact to farmers around North America is available.
