I read the beginning of the section on “Fierce Food Beliefs” in FoodWISE and ask us to take a serious look at organic. What’s the deal with organic? Good idea or bad idea? Biodynamics? See organic and Italy’s rich food heritage (in praise of heritage farming and biodiversity) and also: Italy says organic is all hype This first article is very much in line with “Slow Food” thinking, the second is decidedly not! It is a harangue against organic farming, saying that it’s all hype (marketing) and not sustainable (economically, or physically—organic farming uses too much land!).
