This book sets out to examine what really is going on in the organic sector socially and politically. In the process,
it debunks a number of apparently common-sense beliefs: that organic consumers are wealthy environmental and
health extremists; that growth in the industry will inevitably undermine its environmental values; that mainstream
media is antagonistic to organics; and that the industry is driven by consumer demand. This book seeks to make
a practical contribution to the development of more sustainable food systems by articulating what it takes
to get
people involved in organics at each stage of the food chain.
Researchers in agriculture and rural sociology.
