This research focuses on the domination of the massive food industry that our society is faced with. In order to fully discuss this domination, I discuss the history of food production first to show how society has changed in food production. From thecreation of industrial agriculture, I then discuss the domination of using GMOs and pesticides in our food and the health and environmental risks that result. Organic foodproduction is discussed as a way to shift the attention back to prior industrial agricultureby discussing the non-existence of pesticides and GMOs. Organic production is also used as a tool to fight against industrial agriculture. The theoretical framework that I have decided to use for my research is a critical approach. In this critical approach I analysis the work and motivations of organic growers under dependency theory. My methodology consists of semi-structured interviews that capture the meanings behind organic growers. In my analysis, I have found that there is both a macro and micro level of analysis to understand these motivations. The macro level is that growers grow organically as a way to resist the corporate dependency and model of food production. The two sub-themes were resistance of pesticides and resistance of GMOs. At the micro level, I found that organic growers wanted to be "good stewards of the land". The three sub-themes that emerged from this micro theme were they wanted to use nature as their tool, they wanted to practice proper soil diversity, and they wanted to value their work.
