- Synopsis
- A rich, original study of the social and bureaucratic life of organic quality that challenges assumptions of what organic means Shaila Seshia Galvin examines certified organic agriculture in India&’s central Himalayas, revealing how the fraught concept of organic is less a material property of land or its produce than a quality produced in discursive, regulatory, and affective registers. Becoming Organic is a nuanced account of development practice in rural India, as it has unfolded through complex relationships forged among state authorities, private corporations, and new agrarian intermediaries.
