Communication for food commons: a comparative analysis of community supported agriculture in Portugal

Abstract

This study departs from a common framework of analysis to compare the internal communication practices of seven csas from Portugal. By looking at governance, economy, knowledge, technology and eco-social justice, our findings reveal there is no food commoning without communication. Based on action-research and militant ethnography methods, the study combines a focus group, visual methods and interviews, and contributes with an original approach to communication studies from a commons epistemology.
