Thesis (M.A.)--Trent University (Canada), 2009.

The way that most food is currently produced is unsustainable. Based on interviews with farmers living near Peterborough, Ontario this thesis looks at how small-scale, ecological farmers are making their farms viable and how they are learning the skills to successfully manage them. Farmers are staying viable by using direct marketing strategies, by using low-input and appropriate technologies and by adopting lifestyles that affect farm viability. We are facing a farm succession crisis, but there are ways to address it. This thesis examines some of the ways that farmers are creating new ways to learn and developing new opportunities for intergenerational knowledge transfer. Many farmers are learning through training, from experience, from other farmers, and by working with community groups. In order to encourage a sustainable community-based food system in the Kawarthas, these farmers need to be supported through the development of new local food markets, the creation of more opportunities for new farmers, and by facilitating the transfer of agricultural knowledge.
