Beginning as a small protest to the industrialization of
agriculture in the 1920s, organic farming has become a significant
force in agricultural policy, marketing, and research. No longer
dismissed as unscientific and counterproductive, organic techniques
are now taken seriously by farmers, consumers, scientists, food
processors, marketers, and regulatory agencies in much of the
world. Organic farming is both dynamic and forward-looking but is
also rooted in tradition. It is these traditions that can provide
valuable starting points in debates over how organic farming should
meet new challenges such as globalization, the emergence of new
production techniques, and growing concern over equity and social
justice in agriculture. Complementing general discussions with case
histories of important organic institutions in various countries,
this comprehensive discussion is the first to explore the
development of organic agriculture. This title is now also
available in paperback.
