Environmentally Sound Agriculture Between Transformation and Conformation: The Changing Portrayal of the Growing Organic Farming Movement in Austria's Newspaper Coverage
Possible contributions of organic farming to solve the current environmental crisis in industrialized agriculture can range from greening the existing agrofood system to being a driver for systemic change. The growth of organic farming has led to debates over whether organic is still a driver of societal transformation or whether it has become a slightly greener version of conventional agriculture. We investigate the changing roles that are ascri…
Construction of a scattered field - the differentiation of organic farming in Austrian TV advertisement campaigns
This paper explores the construction of organic farming in two advertising campaigns from Austrian supermarket retailers. Austria illustrates how the growth, change, and differentiation of the organic movement has led to confusion about its current identity. In this context we argue that promotion of organic brands could increase the perception among consumers, that there are multiple versions of organic, each with different levels of quality. Qu…
Metropolitan farmers markets in Minneapolis and Vienna: A values-based comparison
Farmers markets (FMs) have traditionally served as a space for farmers to sell directly to consumers. Recently, many FMs in the US and other regions have experienced a renaissance. This article compares the different value sets embedded in the rules and norms of two metropolitan FM regions—Minneapolis, Minnesota and in Vienna, Austria. It uses a values-based framework that reflects the relationships among FM operating structures (OS) and their va…
Can multicriteria assessment tools help build trust into organic products
In a continuously expanding, globalizing, and industrializing organic market, organic consumers confront increasing complexity in organic product representation, labeling, and information that challenges how they build trust in organic products. We present a conceptual framework to analyze how consumers might build and practice trust in the organic agrifood chain. We asked specifically about the role of multicriteria assessment tools (MCATs) for …

Debating the merits of biotech crop adoption in sub-Saharan Africa: Distributional Impacts, Climatic Variability and Pest Dynamics
The debate on whether genetically engineered (GE) crops can alleviate poverty in Africa continues to intensify. Thus far only one GE crop has been commercialized among smallholders – a pest resistant form of cotton – and only in two sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. We present evidence from Burkina Faso to argue that GE cotton adoption may increase the risk of all producers, may only bring benefits in the short term and may only benefit the re…
