Understanding how farmers are resilient is critical for effective government and individual management responses in an increasingly uncertain world. Through an inter-temporal focus on Finnish organic farmers, we explore changing identities, attitudes and practices, and reflect on ramifications for farming resilience. Despite the essentialising binaries perpetuated by discussions of conventionalisation and bifurcation in the organic movement, organic production systems are, and always have been, heterogeneous. This paper offers a nuanced analysis of the fluctuating and mixed practices and identities that compose the sector. Considering the experiences of oth pio ee a d o te po a o ga i fa e s highlights the ultiple, ha gea le a d, iti all , o te tual atu e of strategies for resilience at the farm level.

“…However, exactly how this knowledge is acquired has not been explored to date, a gap this article addresses. Tacit or experiential knowledge arises through and focuses on the relevant farming activity, be it cultivation of a particular plant (Van der Ploeg 1993) or animal species (Wynne 1992;Grasseni 2004;Singleton 2010;Holloway and Morris 2014), or a management of ecosystems typical of the farm (Burgess et al 2000;Riley 2008). This way of knowing is seen as 'personal and context-dependent, and as such (...) difficult if not impossible to communicate other than through personal interaction in a context of shared experiences' (Goven and Morris 2012, p. 161, my emphasis).…”

This article contributes to the critical debate on the choreographies of care in farming (Law) through an exploration of the inter‐dependence of care and situated expertise in the context of vine work. It argues that care as the totality of those activities which enable the maintenance, continuation, and repair of the farming ‘world’, to paraphrase Fisher and Tronto's classic definition, depends on experiential knowledge. According to Dreyfus and Dreyfus attentiveness, responsiveness, and adaptation to the material environment are characteristic of high levels of expertise. Attentiveness, responsiveness, and adaptation are also what characterises good care (Tronto; Mol). Through an autoethnographic account of acquiring competence in vine work, the article illustrates how through practical engagement with the material and social environment of the farm key elements of the logic of care (Mol) are acquired. In conclusion, the article indicates some consequences of putting experiential knowledge at the heart of multi‐scalar and multi‐temporal cares farmers are increasingly asked to attend to.

“…In a similar vein, Buijs et al (2006) underlined the importance of the functional links established with the landscape in connection with landscape perception and preferences. Level of knowledge is another decisive factor; Holloway and Morris (2013) highlight the importance of what they call the "stockman's eye" in the aesthetic consideration of animals, as farmers have a different attitude towards livestock and see them through different eyes, a fact that undoubtedly influences their landscape preferences. The strong preferences amongst farmers for the scenes with livestock confirms the importance of variables such as direct involvement, knowledge and functional links with the landscape in the choice of scenes with animals.…”

The European Landscape Convention (ELC) emphasises that the public should be extensively involved in the processes of landscape protection, planning and management. In spite of the emerging interest in the relationship between animals and landscapes in the study of animal geography, little is known about the influence of the landscape-animal component on public aspirations and the values attributed to landscape. We conducted a survey in the form of an image-based questionnaire in order to evaluate the influence of certain animal species, in this case livestock, on landscape preferences. The results show that all grazing animals have a positive impact on landscape preferences, although some species seem more popular than others. The preference for scenes with animals decreases, however, when compared with scenes with other landscape features (vegetation, traditional buildings or water). Significant differences in preferences for scenes with animals were observed according to certain sociodemographic variables such as gender, familiarity with the landscape and direct involvement in livestock farming. Of the groups surveyed, livestock farmers showed the strongest preferences for the scenes with animals. The findings of this study can be applied within the citizen participation policies encouraged by the ELC, as well as in the protection, management and planning of rural landscapes in which livestock is an appreciable feature.
