Series: Earthscan Food and Agriculture

China has a rapidly expanding organic agriculture and food sector, and there is a revolution in ecological food and ethical eating in China’s cities. This book shows how social, economic, cultural and environmental conditions have converged to shape the development of a ‘formal’ organic sector, created by ‘top-down’ state-developed standards and regulations, and an ‘informal’ organic sector, created by ‘bottom-up’ grassroots struggles for healthy and sustainable food. It is aimed at advanced students and researchers of agricultural and food systems and policy, rural sociology and Chinese studies, and those with a general interest in organic food sector development and food movements around the world.
