My Personal Engagement in the Local Food System

My Home Garden
I aspire to turn my family’s home garden into an edible landscape where my family and communities can…
  • participate in food production,
  • skill-share,
  • develop local ecological knowledge,
  • harvest food and medicine,
  • and transform or preserve plants for eating or medicinal purposes


Gardening Collective:
Gardening builds community but sometimes gardening requires community too. Time, space, and knowledge can also be barriers to gardening. Building a network of gardeners that garden collectively could provide the support and resources required to get over this hurdle.

Projects that the Gardening Collective could participate in in my garden include...
  • Cob Oven Building
  • Herb Spiral
  • Lasagna Gardening
  • Edible Forest Gardening
  • Landscaping
  • Greenhouse (http://greenhouseofthefuture.com/)


Sustainability Literacy
I aspire to start projects that educate communities about resilience, adaptive management, local ecological knowledge, and social capital to inspire action and paradigm shifts.

Ideas so far include...
  • Bio-blitz
  • Lexicon of Sustainability
  • Project Localize
  • Skill-Shares

Autoethnography and the Blog

My research method is mixed:
  • Case Study of Hudson, Quebec and local area.
  • Action Research by engaging in a community project
  • Auto-ethnography of personal experience engaging in community building and food productio
  • Participant Observation by reflecting on the engagement of others
  • as well as Survey and Interview Analysis to collect specific data to inform the process of engagement.

As I continue to engage in, reflect on, and research the food movement, I aim to share my thoughts, introduce people, and promote innovative ideas through this website, with the intention of enriching the auto-ethnographic experience and data.

    My research focuses on using food and gardening as organizing principles for initiating an adaptive management strategy.
