| Crop rotation is an essential basis of an organic farming system. An activity theoretical concept of object shall be used in examining planning processes of crop rotations. Farmers' object construction means their creating and maintaining the social meaning and purpose of the material farming activity. I shall assume the farmers´ object construction in planning crop rotations to reflect their overall object in organic vegetable farming. First, this paper examines theoretically the object in organic vegetable farming by devising a framework of different types of object constructions. Second, two farms with organic vegetable production will be described, and the farmers´ objects will be shown in the light of the histories of the farms. This will show... |

| In a three-year Research program of organic food and farming in Finland there are five projects under the theme of economics, food and markets. The projects focus on local and organic food systems, environmental economy of organic farming, farm co-operation and economy of suckler cow-based beef production. First results are now available. |

| The aim of the study was to assess the impact of an increased share of local organic food based on local resources, especially on increased recycling (i.e. the impact of increased locality or localization), on sustainability of rural food systems around the Baltic Sea. Obstacles and solutions for sustainable localization and recycling were also identified. In addition to these main objectives, a methodological interest in developing interdisciplinary research processes was also incorporated. Case food systems in eight Baltic countries were studied on the basis of interviews and stakeholder workshops, as well as by analysis of environmental indicators and economic parameters at farm and food system level by a European multidisciplinary research group.... |

| In many European countries, organic agriculture has rapidly been transformed from a farmers' movement to an institutionalized part of agricultural policy. In certification, compliance with published organic standards is verified through annual inspections on farms. In Finland, the role of advice in organic inspections has been the subject of debate. Two inspections are used here to show how the term organic was defined and what the role of advice in relation to compliance was. Both compliance and advisory types of interaction between the inspector and the farmer were identified along an axis from “input substitution” to “system redesign.” The findings illustrate the heterogeneity of the processes and definitions of the term organic in connection with... |

| The present work is an exploratory qualitative field study applying cultural-historical activity theory to organic vegetable farming. The methodology used consists of both ethnographic field work and systematic qualitative analyses of crop rotation planning sessions and organic inspections. The findings suggest that learning in organic vegetable farming is a continuous, dynamic process. What needs to be learned is partly created by the farmers and other participants. The activity theoretical concept of the object has potential for seeing both the material and the social aspects in the formation of the farming activity. By its activity theoretical interpretation of organic vegetable farming, and by offering tools for reflection, the present work... |
