About
This
website
This website
was
made with
the support of Undercurrents and a grant from the Commedia Millennium
Awards. The
Commedia Millennium Awards operates in partnership with local community
media
organisations to give individuals opportunities to make their own
productions
for radio, television and the internet. The scheme is an initiative of
the
Community Media Association with funding from the Millennium
Commission. The
website was produced by
Andrew
Wood. Other examples of community media projects can be
found at the Community Media Showcase, see http://showcase.commedia.org.uk
The
project
The farmers
interviewers were
conducted by Eka Morgan and Andrew Wood as Voices from Oxfordshire
(also known
as ‘Spoken Record’) with the collaboration of Oxfordshire County
Council's Centre for Oxfordshire Studies. The original recordings and
their transcripts are deposited in the Centre's archive. The
transcriptions of the farmers interviews were produced by Andrew Wood,
as was the radio programme,
‘AgriCultured: five Oxfordshire farmers’.
The initial
idea
for a
spoken history project of farming was by Lucy Michaels and Eka Morgan.
The project was informed by research conducted by Eka Morgan, Kathryn
Tulip and Lucy Michaels. Kathryn and Lucy work on Corporate Watch's
Food and Farming project and GAFF - Grassroots Action
on Food and Farming. The choice of which farmers to interview was made
by Andrew Wood and Eka Morgan.
The
photo-diary part of the project was undertaken by Lucy Michaels who
chose the participants, liaised with them and gathered the materials
produced.
The briefing
document accompanying the
radio programme was written by Kathryn Tulip.
Fundraising, administration, and co-ordination were provided by Andrew
Wood.
