Abstract
This paper covers the early findings of a study which aims to investigate the barriers to participation in farmers' markets by the wider farming community in South Australia (SA) with a particular focus on small to medium sized producers. While there exists a body of work internationally on farmers' markets, research within Australia has so far been very limited. The study introduces the findings of a baseline survey in which behaviour is understood as a function of attitudes including perceptions held, social factors such as peer influence, internal factors including willingness to change and external factors such as cost, market conditions and policy settings.
