Going organic: mobilizing networks for environmentally responsible food production
- Wallingford :CABI :2006
- viii + 239 .
This book sets out to assess the current situation of the organic agriculture/food sector, debunking a number of apparently common sense beliefs in the process, viz. that organic consumers are wealthy environmental and health extremists; that growth in the industry will inevitably undermine its environmental values; that the mainstream media are antagonistic to organics; and that the industry is driven by consumer demand. This book aims to make a practical contribution to the development of more sustainable food systems by exploring and revealing what it takes to get people involved in organics at each stage of the food chain.
