Organic farming and the socioecological imaginary: The philosophy and practice of stewardship in the middle landscape.
Vos, Timothy.

Organic farming and the socioecological imaginary: The philosophy and practice of stewardship in the middle landscape. - 157 p.

Adviser: Margaret FitzSimmons.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 2007.

The point of departure for this dissertation comes from the recent federalization of rules and regulations governing organic farming practices in the United States, which became effective in 2002. This is an interdisciplinary study situated at the intersection of the social sciences and the humanities, particularly cultural anthropology, human geography and environmental history, informed by and engaged with critical social theory and agrarian political economy. My methods include ethnographic participant-observation, interviews, and critical analysis of extensive archival materials uncovered and accessed in the course of the inquiry. The dissertation begins with a critique of the proposed new rule, analyzing the prolific public commentary. The controversies surrounding the national rules on organic farming raise several questions about the history and meaning of organic farming and its original purpose as an environmental social movement that I then explore in greater detail. I then undertake an historical reconstruction of the development of organic farming in the Central Coast region of California, one of its core culture areas. The interpretive exegesis of archival documents is at the center of this study. Finally, the explication of the conceptual content of the organic movement undertaken in this dissertation reveals a complex cultural and intellectual history with important political, philosophical and ethical ramifications. My findings indicate that organic farming is more than merely another form of production for a niche market, but rather represents a prefigurative model of an alternative paradigm for society-nature relations.
