Organic Resistance: The Struggle over Industrial Farming in Postwar France (Flows, Migrations, and Exchanges)
by Venus BivarFrance is often held up as a bastion of gastronomic refinement and as a model of artisanal agriculture and husbandry. But French farming is not at all what it seems. Countering the standard stories of gastronomy, tourism, and leisure associated with the French countryside, Venus Bivar portrays French farmers as hard-nosed businessmen preoccupied with global trade and mass production. With a focus on both the rise of big agriculture and the organic movement, Bivar examines the tumult of postwar rural France, a place fiercely engaged with crucial national and global developments.Delving into the intersecting narratives of economic modernization, the birth of organic farming, the development of a strong agricultural protest movement, and the rise of environmentalism, Bivar reveals a movement as preoccupied with maintaining the purity of the French race as of French food. What emerges is a story of how French farming conquered the world, bringing with it a set of ideas about place and purity with a darker origin story than we might have guessed.

Organic, Inc.: Natural Foods and How They Grew
by Samuel FromartzWho would have thought that a natural food supermarket could have been a financial refuge from the dot-com bust? But it had. Sales of organic food had shot up about 20 percent per year since 1990, reaching $11 billion by 2003 . . . Whole Foods managed to sidestep that fray by focusing on, well, people like me. Organic food has become a juggernaut in an otherwise sluggish food industry, growing at 20 percent a year as products like organic ketchup and corn chips vie for shelf space with conventional comestibles. But what is organic food? Is it really better for you? Where did it come from, and why are so many of us buying it? Business writer Samuel Fromartz set out to get the story behind this surprising success after he noticed that his own food choices were changing with the times. In Organic, Inc., Fromartz traces organic food back to its anti-industrial origins more than a century ago. Then he follows it forward again, casting a spotlight on the innovators who created an alternative way of producing food that took root and grew beyond their wildest expectations. In the process he captures how the industry came to risk betraying the very ideals that drove its success in a classically complex case of free-market triumph.

Organizing Eating: Communicating for Equity Across U.S. Food Systems (Routledge Research in Communication Studies)
by Sarah E. DempseyThis book develops "organizing eating" as an organizational-communication centered framework for understanding how communication and power combine to actively shape eating and working in the U.S. food system. Drawing together established scholars, the book sheds light on how the interconnected aspects of power are communicative in nature, shaping and constraining the possibilities for organizing across the food system. The chapters provide grounded insight into the role of racism, corporate and state power, food cooperatives, urban farm systems, food policy, and labor practices, drawing attention to the pathways needed to pursue more equitable food systems. Providing readers with a set of useful critical conceptual tools and an understanding of communication frameworks, chapters identify common principles for critical organizing within the food movement and addresses the relevance of the COVID-19 pandemic and the national uprising against anti-Black violence for understanding the urgent possibilities of food justice. This cohesive collection of cutting-edge scholarship will be of interest to organizational communication scholars, critical/cultural communication scholars, environmental communication scholars, and health communication scholars; and the interdisciplinary fields of environmental studies, agriculture and food studies, and organization and labor studies.
Organizing Food, Faith and Freedom: Imagining Alternatives (Organizations and Activism)
by Ozan Nadir AlakavuklarConsumerism, unsustainable growth, waste and inequalities continue to ail societies across the globe, but creative collectives have been tackling these issues at a grassroots level. Based on an autoethnographic study about a free food store in Aotearoa New Zealand, this book presents a first-hand account of how a community is organized around surplus food to deal with food poverty, while also helping the reader to see through the complexity that brings the free food store to life. Examining how alternative economies and relations emerge from these community solutions, the author shows it is possible to think, act and organize differently within and beyond capitalist dynamics.
Organizzare una festa da vero professionista
by Richard G Lowe Jr Silvia LiguoriGli anni precedenti la scomparsa di mia moglie, ero una di quelle persone che si possono definire introverse. Lavoravo nell'industria informatica, dipingevo miniature di fantasia, collezionavo francobolli ed ero un lettore appassionato. Il filo conduttore di tutte queste attività era il fatto che non fossero coinvolte altre persone. Tutto è cambiato però dopo la morte di mia moglie. La sensazione di dolore era devastante e dovevo fare qualcosa per uscire da quel tunnel oscuro e profondo. Coloro tra voi che hanno vissuto un lutto possono comprendere quel che sto dicendo. Il lutto è un luogo pericoloso in cui sprofondare: in esso non c'è proprio niente di salutare. Mi sono avvicinato alla fotografia e sono andato a immortalare la natura nei parchi nazionali, statali e locali della California del sud. Ho iniziato ad andare alle fiere, soprattutto al Festival rinascimentale locale. Mi sono imposto di essere più “social” e socievole, nonostante questo andasse contro una personale mentalità introversa. Ho iniziato a partecipare alle feste. Anche prima ovviamente ero stato ad altre feste, ma in generale ero parecchio riluttante e non mi fermavo mai troppo a lungo. Arrivavo senza buttarmi subito nella mischia e spesso gli altri invitati non si accorgevano nemmeno che fossi lì anch'io. Ora è tutto diverso per me. Quel tunnel oscuro di dolore non faceva per me. Stare all'aria aperta e frequentare altra gente mi ha guidato verso la mia rinascita. La cosa interessante dei festival rinascimentali è la natura sociale delle persone coinvolte. In men che non si dica ero diventato già il fotografo ufficiale del Festival del Rinascimento e mi invitavano alle loro feste ed eventi sociali. Un mondo completamente nuovo per me, un mondo di socializzazione con altre persone. All'inizio, non avevo la minima idea di cosa fare e mi sentivo un po' spaesato. Dopo aver conosciuto nuova gente a feste ed eventi, si è aperto uno spiraglio e ho ricominciato a divertirmi.
Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Goes Bad
by Renee McgregorCould you or someone you love be dangerously obsessed with diet and exercise? • Do you can care more about the virtue of what you eat – how "clean" it is – than the pleasure you receive from eating it? • Do you sacrifice experiences you once enjoyed to eat the food you believe is right? • Do you understand the impact these restrictions are having on your body? • Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your "clean" diet? Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with eating only healthy food. It is closely related to anorexia, but focused on quality of food rather than quantity. But how do you know if you or a friend or loved one has crossed that line? And how much do you really know about the impact these diets, plans and detoxes are having on your body?Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Goes Bad compassionately and expertly helps you to recognise potential issues, break free from the condition and find a way back to a balanced, truly healthy way of eating and enjoying life.

Ottawa Food: A Hungry Capital
by Don Chow Jennifer LimAn illuminating examination of the history of food in Ottawa and the National Capital Region -- an area with a culinary culture that has developed significantly in the last two decades. During the past 20 years the food scene in Ottawa has changed from a landscape of pub grub-driven dining to a vibrant environment for trendy eateries and forward-thinking chefs. The once bland and mundane culinary culture has been transformed, and the result is an array of destination restaurants and purveyors of high-quality food and drink products. Many of these new and successful players leverage the nearby farms -- nearly 2,000 in total -- and artisan food makers that can provide a huge range of ingredients and possibilities.
