Shaila Seshia Galvin examines certified organic agriculture in India's central Himalayas, revealing how organic is less a material property of land or its produce than a quality produced in discursive, regulatory, and affective registers. 'Becoming Organic' is a nuanced account of development practice in rural India, as it has unfolded through complex relationships forged among state authorities, private corporations, and new agrarian intermediaries. 410 0$aYale agrarian studies series. 410 0$aYale scholarship online. 606 $aOrganic farming$zIndia 606 $aOrganic farming$zHimalaya Mountains Region 606 $aAgriculture and state$zIndia 606 $aAgriculture and state$zHimalaya Mountains Region 615 0$aOrganic farming 615 0$aOrganic farming 615 0$aAgriculture and state 615 0$aAgriculture and state 676 $a631.584095483 700 $aGalvin$b Shaila Seshia$01219090 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554229603321 996 $aBecoming organic$92819040 997 $aUNINA
