In addition to constituting an evolving area of inquiry within the
social sciences, agricultural certification, and particularly its
Fair Trade and organic components, has emerged as a significant
tool for promoting rural development in the global South. This book
is unique for two reasons. First, in contrast to existing studies
that have tended to examine Fair Trade and organic certification as
independent systems, the studies presented in this book reveal
their joint application within actual production settings,
demonstrating the greater complexity entailed in these double
certification systems through the generation of contradictions and
tensions compared with single certification systems. Second, the
authors, who are both Asian, reveal the realities of applying Fair
Trade and organic certification systems within Asian agriculture.
In doing so, they challenge the fact that most Fair Trade studies
have been undertaken by Western scholars who have tended to focus
on Latin American and African producers. Drawing on a wealth of
grounded case studies conducted in India, Thailand, and the
Philippines, this pioneering study on double certification makes a
significant contribution to studies on Fair Trade and organic
agriculture beyond Asia.
