Abstract

MOREIRA, Sara. Communication for food commons: a comparative analysis of community supported agriculture in Portugal. Comun. soc [online]. 2022, vol.19, e8155.  Epub Mar 24, 2023. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2022.8155.

This study departs from a commons 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.

Keywords : Communication commons; community supported agriculture; food commons; communication practices.
