Urban agriculture of the future: an overview of sustainability aspects of food production in and on buildings (2014, background): “Critics describe a phenomenon experienced in the organic food movement as ‘counter-cuisine’ (Guthman 2003) to suggest that the success of the organic industry was largely wrapped up with gentrification and the class differentiation that it necessarily entailed.”
Back to the Land: The Paradox of Organic Food Standards (2004, background): “The price premium attached to organic food contributes to the pervasive notion that its consumption is an elite practice (DeLind, 1993; Guthman, 2003a).”
Building Food Democracy: Exploring Civic Food Networks and Newly Emerging Forms of Food Citizenship (2012, background): “…or in opposition to those associated with mainstream food systems’ (tregear, 2011, p. 423)? there is a tendency to see food production and consumption practices that can be marked ‘alternative’ as morally superior to ‘unreflexive’ practices, and as a critique of industrialized food (Guthman, 2003).”
The mirror of consumption: Celebritization, developmental consumption and the shifting cultural politics of fair trade (2010, background): “In some ways, this is similar to but beyond the standards-based ‘barriers to entry’ Guthman (2007) talks about in organic food networks; fair trade producers must comply not only with fair trade standards as laid out by FLO but now must also conform to the quality requirements dictated by what amoun”
Reading fair trade: political ecological imaginary and the moral economy of fair trade foods (2004, background): “Populating this consumerist landscape, then, (and drawn best as it has been in the realm of food-based politics) is the figure of the socalled ‘‘reflexive consumer’’ (DuPuis, 2000; Guthman, 2003) who embodies a ‘‘.”
Place, Taste, or Face-to-Face? Understanding Producer–Consumer Networks in “Local” Food Systems in Washington State (2005, background): “We examine local food initiatives that serve as alternatives to globalized circuits of high-volume, lowerpriced commodities, but are not the ‘‘yuppie chow’’ of those affluent enough in wealth or time to access them (Guthman, 2003).”
Understanding and (dis)trusting food assurance schemes: Consumer confidence and the ‘knowledge fix’ (2008, background): “Much of the agro-food and commodity chain research is commodity-specific and thus tracks long but narrow production/processing chains, whether of chickens (Watts, 2004), flowers (Hughes, 2000), fish (Mansfield, 2003), coffee (Mutersbaugh, 2002) or organic salads (Guthman, 2003).”
Rural development through the construction of new, nested, markets: comparative perspectives from China, Brazil and the European Union (2012, background): “Guthman (2003, 45) argues that this type of analysis lacks a class and gender perspective. (4)Rooij et al (2010) show that ethical considerations play an equally important role among producers. (5)There is now also a considerable literature on short food chains and special products in developing cou”
The Urban Creative-Food Economy: Producing Food for the Urban Elite or Social Inclusion Opportunity? (2006, background): “…quality-based local, ethnic, or organic productsöis often characterized in the critical political geography literature as evidence of urban elitism, exploitative labour practice, or as a product that has already been colonized by the agri-industrial food chain (Buck et al, 1997; Guthman, 2003).”
Understanding Consumer Interest in Organics: Production Values vs. Purchasing Behavior (2008, background): “Some consumers are even drawn by the higher price because it can convey exclusive status that attracts certain buyers (Guthman, 2003; Miele, 1999).”
The city in the country: Growing alternative food networks in Metropolitan areas (2008, background): “Critical views of farmers markets, CSAs and community food security movements indicate that they can be exclusionary in terms of class and race and issues of food security (Guthman, 2003; Slocum, 2006; Hinrichs, 2000; Goodman, 2000).”
From “old school” to “farm-to-school”: Neoliberalization from the ground up (2006, background): “This elision thus reinforces the idea that social change is simply a matter of individual will rather than something that must be organized and struggled over in collectivities (Allen and Kovach, 2000; Guthman, 2003a ).”
Growing sustainable consumption communities: The case of local organic food networks (2007, background): “But how socially inclusive is this community? Organic food is often dismissed as the preserve of an elite, on grounds of price, and claimed to be inaccessible to lower-income groups ( Guthman, 2003”
