Re-Thinking Organic Food and Farming in a Changing World (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015): Bernhard... Re-Thinking Organic Food and Farming in a Changing World (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015)
Bernhard Freyer, Jim Bingen
R2,591 Discovery Miles 25 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Agricultural Standards - The Shape of the Global Food and Fiber System (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed.... Agricultural Standards - The Shape of the Global Food and Fiber System (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2006)

R2,957 Discovery Miles 29 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Food and agricultural standards have recently risen to the top of both national and international agendas. Popular concerns about the power of the World Trade Organization focus on the intertwined relationships between environmental protection, labor and human rights, and the standards used to produce and supply our food and fiber globally. In the developing world, agricultural grades and standards are an important part of the reconfiguration of roles and responsibilities between various public and private actors in market reform.

This original and informative collection of studies of agri-food standards in the modern economy addresses these and helps to define the scope of the emerging study of the politics of standards setting. Following an overview essay dealing with the multiple ways of thinking about, approaching and defining food and agricultural standards, eleven case studies offer a rich body of evidence that assesses the processes, dynamics and potential consequences of global agri-food standards.

For all interested in the strategic use of food and agricultural standards from those in national and international governmental agencies, researchers and others in the academic and private sector to those in the private business sector this volume offers a broader perspective on and will serve as an important resource.
