Kato et al. (2014) discuss the development of each garden project they researched. For example, “The Latino Farmers’ Cooperative of Louisiana (LFCL) emerged in early 2008 to address the social and economic needs . . . Following Hurricane Katrina, large numbers of Latinos migrated to the city from both domestic and international locations to assist in the rebuilding effort. The initial purpose of the LFCL was to foster collaboration and provide support among Latinos living in New Orleans, particularly in the realms of food provisioning. . . . Evelia thus envisioned the co-operative as a resource for Latinos seeking gainful employment and a response to market demand for particular food commodities.” (p. 1840). What feature of qualitative research does this quote represent?
