Abstract: Any property that conveys resilience to a specific farm at a specific point in time might well be irrelevant at a later point in time when both the farm and the context will have changed. In this chapter, the principal author’s ontological and epistemological positions within the interpretative paradigm are described, and there is reflection on how these have influenced and underpinned the methodological approach. The emergence and evolution of this approach within the social sciences is also described, as it is an important element of both how the study was approached and why it is important. The methods used for data collection and analysis are described and the emergent research themes introduced.
