“…This is consistent with Ingram's () findings in relation to soil management in England, where farmers were found to use a combination of both ‘scientific’ and ‘tacit’ knowledge. Van Gorp and van der Goot () add to this ‘mingling’ characterisation, by asserting that constructivist notions mooted in a sustainable agriculture context can be as mythical as objectivist notions and are limited: not all that comes from nature is axiomatically good.…”

Whilst objectivist epistemologies have been dominant in productivist agriculture, the local, cultural and environmental contexts of sustainable agriculture are more fully informed by constructivist epistemologies. Within constructivism, tacit knowledge -an intuitive knowledge that cannot be formalised -is explored empirically. Six types of tacit knowledge were identified as a result of working closely with a sustainable food network: the Brighton and Hove Food Partnership. Customs cohere around integrating food with other sustainable activity; developing a complex unregulated organisation requires savoirfaire. The unique character of Brighton has developed an operational folklore, and network identity is important, particularly in relation to conventional agriculture and to the city as a whole. A confidence in people's roles has helped define network development and using different discourses, communicating the network in diverse contexts, is important for understanding the network. All these tacit knowledge elements have a strong influence over the network but have to be assimilated knowledge rather than learned.

“…Based on van Gorp and van der Goot [ 35 ], the Good Mother and Natural Goodness frames were expected to be found most frequently in video images and narratives. The third most used frame was Undermining of Foundations in both video groups.…”

“…Food-related framing usually falls into the corporative-political category [ 33 ] or into the social activism category [ 34 ]. Nonetheless, this study employed van Gorp and van der Goot [ 35 ] framing categories, which are used by stakeholders of sustainable food products and are based on archetypes ( Table 1 ). The “Natural Goodness” frame and the “Good Mother” frame are used frequently and are strongly interlinked [ 35 ].…”

Background Local and organic foods have shown increased importance and market size in recent years. However, attitudes, sentiment, and habits related to such foods in the context of video social networks have not been thoroughly researched. Given that such media have become some of the most important venues of internet traffic, it is relevant to investigate how sustainable food is communicated through such video social networks. Objective This study aimed to explore the diffusion paths of local and organic foods on YouTube, providing a review of trends, coincidences, and differences among video discourses. Methods A combined methodology involving webometric, framing, semantic, and sentiment analyses was employed. Results We reported the results for the following two groups: organic and local organic videos. Although the content of 923 videos mostly included the “Good Mother” (organic and local organic: 282/808, 34.9% and 311/866, 35.9%, respectively), “Natural Goodness” (220/808, 27.2% and 253/866, 29.2%), and “Undermining of Foundations” (153/808, 18.9% and 180/866, 20.7%) frames, organic videos were more framed in terms of “Frankenstein” food (organic and local organic: 68/808, 8.4% and 27/866, 3.1%, respectively), with genetically modified organisms being a frequent topic among the comments. Organic videos (N=448) were better connected in terms of network metrics than local organic videos (N=475), which were slightly more framed regarding “Responsibility” (organic and local organic: 42/808, 5.1% and 57/866, 6.5%, respectively) and expressed more positive sentiment (M ranks for organic and local organic were 521.2 and 564.54, respectively, Z=2.15, P=.03). Conclusions The results suggest that viewers considered sustainable food as part of a complex system and in a positive light and that food framed as artificial and dangerous sometimes functions as a counterpoint to promote organic food.

“…With age, the low level of organic farming practice especially within the group younger than 30 and between 30-40 raises concern on the sustainability of the UK's agriculture. Gorp and Goot (2012) identified the importance of the younger generation in promoting and having a positive attitude towards sustainable agriculture. Even though these results are not positive for the future of UK's agriculture, the relationship between age and organic farming is expected, since an earlier study showed that the probability of adopting organic practice increases by 0.03 per cent for every year increase in age (Tiffin and Balcombe 2011).…”

We identify the factors that attract UK farmers towards a given technology, their interest in agricultural technology and their practice of organic farming. The implications of this on the adoption of anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK and sustainable agriculture are also discussed. Farmers were contacted by means of online survey, aided by yellow pages directory, Natural England directory, Twitter and electronic mail. A total of 283 farmers participated in the survey. The Chi square test was used to check for relationships between the variables measured at 95% confidence level (p<.05). Relationship strength was measured by means of Cramer's V and Phi values. The results showed several significant relationships among variables, including relationship between interests in agricultural technology and gender, level of education, and farm size; between knowledge of what AD is and gender, level of education and farm size; between interest in AD and age; between willingness to invest in AD if it improved soil properties and farm ownership; and between organic farming practice and age, farm type and farm size. Results also showed a significant presence of female farmers, young farmers (< 30 years old), high level of education among UK farmers, and low level of organic farming practice. Areas for future research and recommendations based on the results are presented in the conclusion.
