    Subsistence Production and Commodity Production in the British Imperial Food System: The Case of Nova Scotia Apples

    The history of agriculture in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley before the Second World War has mostly been written as a story of the marketing of apples to Britain. Indeed, the valley in the first half of the twentieth century featured the full apparatus of industrial fruit production: grading and inspection systems, mechanical sprayers delivering chemical sprays, expert advice, and an infrastructure of railways, packing houses, storage facilities, and commercial intelligence.

L’analyse des rapports du gouvernement, ainsi que des journaux intimes, des entretiens oraux et des données de recensement, révèle toutefois que l’approvisionnement des marchés mondiaux en pommes reposait sur une production domestique qui associait les cultures de base à la fabrication de produits végétaux et animaux pour les marchés locaux et à la production de denrées destinées aux familles de cultivateurs. Pour les agriculteurs de la vallée, la vente sur les marchés capitalistes mondiaux ne représentait qu’une partie des nombreuses stratégies de subsistance des ménages
