This book takes a fresh look at understanding the dynamics of the
organic agricultural sector in Europe, Australia, South America and
the US. Many of the authors explore the use of combined
methodology, drawing on theory from a range of social sciences to
demonstrate that the complexity of organic agriculture lies in the
close connection between nature, society and the economy. Likewise,
whilst the book depicts organic agriculture as an engine of growth
for the organic sector, it reflects also the important role played
by, not only producers but also, other actors in the supply chain,
such as consumers and certification standards.
