Interviews from field research in Rio de Janeiro State - Brazil

This paper presents a case study on organic agriculture at Região Serrana Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. We sought to understand what was the role of organic farming, and if it can be considered as an aggregating element between different kind of people or groups who were located in the same region. The methodology used to carry out this investigation was based on the concept of the Rural Network, which enabled us to comprehend the articulations and connections that comprise the organic agriculture circuit in the mountains of this specific region.
