This thesis examines the social and political relations of small-scale, ecological farmers in two regions of the US, with the aim of understanding the conditions of possibility within the alternative food movement (AFM). Through interviews with "new agrarians" in New England and California, I examine the challenges that these farmers face, their perception of those challenges, and the implications their perceptions have for the solutions they pursue and/or imagine. Utilizing theories of political consciousness from Paolo Freire and J.K. Gibson-Graham, I trace the ways in which new agrarians develop and articulate understandings of themselves and their circumstance and how, if at all, this consciousness translates into political action. Amidst myriad calls for social movements to push for transformational change of the corporate food regime, I seek to understand the degree to which this type of concerted collective action is possible - and, indeed, underway - among the farmers of the AFM. My findings paint a picture of a diffuse movement, composed of farmers as islands in need of improved connection, dialogue, and collective brainstorming. New agrarians represent a spectrum of political consciousness, and those with the strongest structural critique are often exasperated by the food movement's unwillingness to engage in questions of radical structural change. It is critical that these, and all, farmers be engaged and centered in AFM institutions, organizations, and networks. These mid-career agrarians need spaces for dialogue regarding farm viability in addition to technical training and resources. In order to participate in meaningful dialogue, farmers must be freed up to a degree from the demands of farm work and the self-exploitation that accompanies ecological farming; landowners, community members, and food movement organizers have vital roles to play in this. Shared values and critical consciousness between farmers and these other actors in the AFM prove critical to farmer's ability to engage in off-farm community organizing and political action and, in turn, to the long-term viability of farmer livelihoods. AFM institutions focused on technical training by way of a knowledge-deficit model are well positioned to integrate understanding of and emphasis on structural barriers that farmers face and to engage in meaningful strategies for addressing them, resulting in a both/and approach to farmer support and advocacy.
