This book is an important contribution to our understanding of food in China through an ethnographic case study of an alternative food movement in Shanghai and the surrounding countryside. Cody examines a group of middle-class urban residents who move to the countryside to establish small-scale and independent organic farms. The book explores the complex relationships movement protagonists have with customers in the city, rural neighbours in the countryside, volunteers on their farms, intellectuals involved in rural reconstruction initiatives as well as the organic items they produce. In doing so, Cody provides valuable insights into the urban/rural dichotomy and questions of morality in China today. This book speaks to several concerns associated with the accelerated modernization China and other Asian nations are experiencing, including food safety and class relations. It will appeal to scholars and practitioners across a range of fields including anthropology, food studies, rural development and China Studies.
This book investigates the emergence of organic food and farming as a social movement. Using the tools of political sociology it analyzes and explains how both people and ideas have shaped a movement that from its inception aimed to change global agriculture. Starting from the British Empire in the 1930's, where the first trans-national roots of organic farming took hold, through to the internet-mediated social protests against genetically modified crops at the end of the twentieth century, the author traces the rise to prominence of the movement. As well as providing a historical account, the book explains the movement's on-going role in fostering and organising alternatives to the dominant intensive and industrial forms of agriculture, such as promoting local food produce and animal welfare.
By considering it as a trans-national movement from its inception, aiming at cultural and social change, the book highlights what is unique about the organic movement and why it has risen only relatively recently to public attention. The author reports original research findings, focusing largely on the English-speaking world. The work is grounded in academic enquiry and theory, but also provides a narrative through which the movement can be understood by the more general interested reader.

Описание: Tomorrow's Table argues that a judicious blend of two important strands of agriculture--genetic engineering and organic farming--is key to helping feed the world's growing population in an ecologically balanced manner. Pamela Ronald, a geneticist, and her husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer, take the reader inside their lives for roughly a year, allowing us to look over their shoulders so that we can see what geneticists and organic farmers actually do. Readers see the problems that farmers face, trying to provide larger yields without resorting to expensive or environmentally hazardous chemicals--a problem that will loom larger and larger as the century progresses--and they learn how organic farmers and geneticists address these problems. The book is for consumers, farmers, and policy decision makers who want to make food choices and policy that will support ecologically responsible farming practices, and for anyone who wants accurate information about organic farming, genetic engineering, and their potential impacts on human health and the environment. The first edition was published in hardcover in 2008 and in paperback in 2009. This second edition reflects the many and varied changes the fields of farming and genetic engineering have seen since 2009. It includes a new preface and three new chapters-one on politics and food-related protests such as the Marin county anti-vaccine movement and the subsequent outbreak of whooping cough, one on farming and food security, and one containing various recipes. Existing chapters on the tools of genetic engineering, organic vs. conventional foods, the tools of organic agriculture, and food labeling and legislature have all been updated.

Автор: Per Engelseth Название: Food Product Traceability in Value Networks ISBN: 1629482390 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781629482392 Издательство: Nova Science Цена: 85530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Food product traceability became rather suddenly a food industry concern after the turn of the millennium. New laws in developed countries enforcing food product traceability demanded that the food industry follow up with developing information systems that supported this requirement. This was at the time a significant and new organisational and technical challenge for the food industry. Gradually more and more food suppliers are establishing food traceability also because customers require this information. The book illustrates how this is understood conceptually and may be achieved in business practice. The book is mainly written to argue for this alternative managerial view of food product traceability which is aimed at being complementary to the currently dominant technical view. It provides a perspective that enriches the dominant IT-base view by taking into consideration the main purpose of food supply which is to achieve satisfied customers. Technology is the helper. The taken approach of the book is founded on literature in the fields of operations management, logistics, supply chain management, industrial marketing and to a limited degree information technology. This reflects that competence in food product traceability is cross functional. The book has an academic profile and a sufficient number of references are provided mainly to permit the reader to investigate on their own specificities related to the arguments brought forward through the books text. The book is written both for specialised professionals as well as researchers. The book may be used as a foundation and inspiration in developing research and development projects at different levels including students at a post-graduate level and more advanced. The book also contains two detailed case descriptions of end-to-end food product supply including analysis of this supply based on the framework developed through the book. This provides students and researchers with illustrations as to how a case study on food product traceability may be constructed. The illustrations also aim to anchor the preceding text in business practice.
