This book is based on the assumption that “organic has lost its
way”. Paradoxically, it comes at a time when we witness
the continuing of growth in organic food production and markets
around the world. Yet, the book claims that organic has lost sight
of its first or fundamental philosophical principles and
ontological assumptions. The collection offers empirically grounded
discussions that address the principles and fundamental assumptions
of organic farming and marketing practices. The book draws
attention to the core principles of organic and offers different
clearly articulated and well-defined conceptual frameworks that
offer new insights into organic practices. Divided into five parts,
the book presents new perspectives on enduring issues, examines
standards and certification, gives insights into much-discussed and
additional market and consumer issues, and reviews the interplay of
organic and conventional farming. The book concludes with a
framework for rethinking ethics in the organic movement and
reflections on the positioning of organic ethics.
