    Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works

    (Our Sustainable Future)

    By Leslie A. Duram

    • Publisher: Bison Books
    • Number Of Pages: 251
    • Publication Date: 2005-03-01
    • Binding: Paperback
    Book Description



    Over the past decade, organic products have become the fastest growing sector of agriculture, with an annual increase of at least 20 percent. This book explains why organic production and consumption have seen such phenomenal growth in recent years—and, even more important, why they should. A clear-eyed, close-up look at the compelling reasons for organic farming and the methods that make it work, Good Growing begins with a frank account of the problems with conventional industrial agriculture—the pesticide use, pollution, and corporate control that have undermined public health and devastated rural towns and family farms. In-depth interviews with working organic farmers from across the country bring to life the facts and figures that Leslie Duram sets out in her extensive overview of the realities of organic farming today. Farmers with very different operations in California, Colorado, Illinois, Florida, and upstate New York give us an intimate understanding of the ecological, social, economic, and personal factors that shape their farming experiences. We also learn firsthand about the attractions and pleasures as well as the problems and concerns that accompany organic farming. With its comprehensive view of the status of farming and its compelling portraits of organic farmers, Good Growing is, finally, a work of scientific advocacy describing a course of action, based on the best research available, to improve the health of agriculture in our day.

    Organic Farming: An International History

    By W Lockeretz




    [​IMG]

    • Publisher: CABI



      Number Of Pages: 320


      Publication Date: 2008-08-25
    • Binding: Hardcover
    Product Description





    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 agriculture. Complementing general discussions with case histories of important organic institutions in various countries, this comprehensive discussion is that first to explore the development of agriculture.

    Agrarian Dreams

    The Paradox of Organic Farming in California

    (California Studies in Critical Human Geography, 11)


    By Julie Guthman

    • Publisher: University of California Press
    • Number Of Pages: 264
    • Publication Date: 2004-08-04
    • Binding: Hardcover
    Product Description

    In an era of escalating food politics, many believe organic farming to be the agrarian answer. In this first comprehensive study of organic farming in California, Julie Guthman casts doubt on the current wisdom about organic food and agriculture, at least as it has evolved in the Golden State. Refuting popular portrayals of organic agriculture as a small-scale family farm endeavor in opposition to "industrial" agriculture, Guthman explains how organic farming has replicated what it set out to oppose. Illustrations: 2 maps, 15 tables
