The research focus was on the individual participant in Northern Australian agriculture and specifically on the individuals’ self-identity as farmer, grazier or other manner they self-identified as being involved in Northern Australian agriculture. In a review of research paradigms from the discipline of community sociology, Veinot and Williams (2012, p. 860) suggest that ‘community-level information production, circulation, and technology projects should be understood in an institutional, as well as interpersonal, context’, and I treated this self-identification as their institutional context – Veinot and Williams point outHuman communities are territorial; they have a biotic substructure in which individual human beings compete for resources, [and this] directs the energies of competitive individuals. …. By restricting the competition of individuals, society achieves equilibrium in a process of collective adaptation. (p. 850)
