The Agrarian Answer? --Appendix --Notes --Glossary --References --IndexIn this groundbreaking study of organic farming, Julie Guthman challenges accepted wisdom about organic food and agriculture in the Golden State. Many continue to believe that small-scale organic farming is the answer to our environmental and health problems, but Guthman refutes popular portrayals that pit "small organic" against "big organic" and offers an alternative analysis that underscores the limits of an organic label as a pathway to transforming agriculture. This second edition includes a thorough investigation of the federal organic program, a discussion of how the certification arena has continued to grow and change since its implementation, and an up-to-date guide to the structure of the organic farming sector. Agrarian Dreams delivers an indispensable examination of organic farming in California and will appeal to readers in a variety of areas, including food studies, agriculture, environmental studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, and history.California studies in critical human geography ;11.Organic farmingCaliforniaElectronic books.Organic farming635/.048409794ZA 55383rvkGuthman Julie1033028MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458507903321Agrarian dreams2482026UNINA
