Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the difficulty of adopting local and organic farming practices in regional Queensland and to draw some conclusions as to how sustainable agricultural systems can expand in the future. A total of forty in-depth interviews were conducted with growers and key informants. Content analysis of community plans was also undertaken. The analysis involved comparing and contrasting the views held by the different respondents and coding the data into major themes that were grounded in the literature.
