Dear Nicola,
I can't suggest any case studies in agricultural design, but I can
recommend an essay that you may find interesting and relevant. It is
"Farming as Focal Practice," by Paul B. Thompson. It is included in
"Technology and the Good Life," edited by Eric Higgs, Andrew Light, and
David Strong--University of Chicago Press, 2000. This is an STS book, with
value, I believe, for design. Thompson is excellent--and he may be able to
provide leads to some of the materials you are seeking. Thompson is at
Purdue, I believe.
I post this response to the list as a whole because the essay and book may
relate to research interests of many.
