Organic Certifier Payola: A Tale of Two Labels
with Mark Kastel
“When we worked together to commercialize the organic farming movement, starting in earnest in the 1980s, it was, in part, to promote economic justice for working family farmers who were being forced off the land. Now that it’s a $60-plus billion industry, most of the profits are flowing to greedy investors, just as in conventional farming.”
