sophiawink/Wisconsin-Demo-Farm-social-network-analysis: Wisconsin Demo Farm Network Analysis v.1

This repository contains code and supporting materials for the social network analysis of farmers participating in the Wisconsin Demonstration Farm Program. The project integrates egocentric and whole-network approaches to examine patterns of information exchange, connectivity, and knowledge diffusion among participating farmers.

The analysis uses survey-based network data to construct directed ties between individuals and evaluate structural features of farmer networks. Code included in this release supports data cleaning, network construction, and visualization, with a focus on understanding how network structure may influence the spread of agricultural practices and decision-making.

This version represents the finalized codebase associated with the study and is archived to support transparency, reproducibility, and reuse.
