Andrew Flachs Published Research Article

Northern Bosnia landscape with houses and gardens.

Andrew Flachs published a research article in East European Politics and Societies that assesses the role of home gardens and food self provisioning as a vehicle for mutual aid in Bosnia. The paper, ““We Are Just Surviving”: The Paradox of Robust Homegardens in Northern Bosnia and Herzegovina” uses a combination of garden surveys, interviews, and participant observation to show how this agricultural work reflects deep ambiguities about rural futures in a mountainous region with high biodiversity, uncertain formal economies, and a desire to maintain a sense of home despite outmigration.
