METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 

This was a qualitative transdisciplinary research project undertaken as part of PhD research by Sarina Kilham. Part of the research was participatory action research and done in collaboration with the Permaculture Institute of Bahia (http://www.permacultura-bahia.org.br/) and the Institute for Society, Population and Nature (https://ispn.org.br/). 

Archiving the data co-created through this research project to a shareable Databank was incorporated into the research design and subsequently approved by the University of Technology Sydney Human Research Ethics Committee - project protocol 2010-105A under the names of my Supervisors Dr Juliet Willetts and Associate Professor Michael Paddon.

Each farmer informant was explicitly asked about inclusion of their material in the databank and informed about the embargo periods imposed on the data. The conditions on the data were designed as such:
Embargo Period:
(a)	Transcriptions: available 5 years post-interview
(b)	Full audio: available 10 years post-interview
(c)	Full video: available 20 years post-interview 

Ownership and Access:
(a)	Co-researchers and Collaborators: unlimited access, cannot approve access to external researchers
(b)	Sarina Kilham: unlimited access, approves access to external researchers


<Include links or references to publications or other documentation containing experimental design or protocols used in data collection>

2. Methods for processing the data: 

Data was created through interviews with farmers in Portuguese. Interviews were audio and/or video recorded. Drielle Bezerra, Eliza Ferreira de Oliveira and Sarina Kilham provided transcription. Sarina Kilham undertook translation.


<describe how the submitted data were generated from the raw or collected data>
