Abstract
Implications of the findings are discussed for two major areas of concern. The first is an understanding of how some of the farmers' basic problems were addressed in creating a network that would provide them with information and greater leverage in securing new market opportunities and higher income; and second, for sustaining Guild membership over the next decade or so. Express, overall concern is with gaining a clearer, more in-depth understanding of how contemporary farmers, from their embedded position in the local landscape, are working their way into global production chains.
