| Organic food has been gaining more and more popularity among Canadian consumers in the last decade. The producers of the food, the organic farmers, are still struggling for recognition and support, from the general public, from the agricultural community, and from governments. This study looked at the small, but vibrant, organic fanning community in Nova Scotia, to examine what are the social, economic, and institutional implications of this alternative type of fanning. It was discovered that there is still much controversy in the organic movement in terms of certification, the language that is used, and the future of organic agriculture. |
