Artisanal making and the future of small-scale local production

小规模的本地生产对澳大利亚后新冠肺炎后的社会和经济复苏至关重要。该项目采用混合方法，旨在确定支撑当代对当地制造商品的需求的消费者身份、决策和可持续的手工生产模式。该项目创新性地超越了生产/消费和单个生产部门的二元组，预计将产生关于如何扩大澳大利亚小规模生产市场的至关重要的新知识。该项目的预期结果包括产生强大的数据，为有利于运营商保持竞争力和支持新的和新兴的手工业业务发展的战略提供信息。

Small-scale local production is essential to Australia’s post-COVID social and economic recovery. Employing a mixed methods approach, this project aims to identify the consumer identities, decision-making and sustainable artisanal production models underpinning contemporary demand for locally made goods. Moving innovatively beyond binaries of production/consumption and individual production sectors, the project expects to generate vital new knowledge about how markets for small-scale Australian production can be expanded. Expected outcomes of this project include the generation of robust data to inform strategies that will benefit operators in remaining competitive and support the development of new and emerging artisanal businesses.
