Introduction The new schools in sustainable development show a gradual realization and recognition for participatory approaches that facilitates the process of linking the communities with scientific family (researchers & academic people). By adopting participatory approaches the local knowledge and innovation will be respected, promoted, shared and scaled up. Participatory approaches were triggered by discussions on farming systems research and extension during 1970s and were followed by the beginning of Participatory Technology Development(PTD) and farmer to farmer extension approaches during 1980s.The approaches of facilitating(two- ways)learning between ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ evolved during 1990s as an element that aimed at strengthening participatory approaches.

    Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14 1DL Tel: 01449 612229 www.eastanglianlife.org.uk Objects(s): Butter making equipment Object Number(s): STMEA:75.A.78.1, STMEA:76.A.79.9a-b, STMEA:76.A.79.10 and STMEA:76.A.79.11 Researcher details: Richard Hall, Volunteer. Butter making equipment Most people use a variety of margarine-based spreads to put on bread and toast. In former times, butter was the only option for almost everyone. Today, butter has seen somewhat of a revival as we turn away from margarine and spreads to more traditional accompaniments to our slice of bread. These objects in out collection reflect a former era when butter was made by hand in small local dairies with any surplus sold to customers in the locality. Our first object is a ‘Butter Churn’ (STMEA:75.A.78.1) which was made by R.A. Lister and Company of Dursley in Gloucestershire. Research suggests that R.A. Lister, who were perhaps better known for their small petrol and diesel engines, made a number of these churns between 1890 and 1910 from offcuts of wood from their garden furniture making business1. It is a very simple wooden frame in which is placed a small wooden barrel with a spindle though the centre. The barrel can be spun ‘end-on-end’ by turning the handle at the end of the spindle. The whole mechanism serves to turn the barrel end-on-end, and spinning the contents inside – a process known as “Churning” from which the object derives its name. The result is similar to whipping cream with a whisk or mixer, except that this process requires muscle power rather than electricity.
