Community Interview Food Farming and Place

Interview someone who has lived here thirty years. Ask what has changed.

The answers are consistently striking. Fields built on, varieties disappeared, water sources altered, crops that used to grow and no longer do. This is local environmental history that exists nowhere in print.

The page has the interview protocol, consent guidance, a recording method and a write up frame. Consent is covered properly, since this is real research on real people and the standards should be met even in a school project. Transcripts collected across a class build a record with genuine value.
