Notes

1 Although China maintains its own national organic certification program, very few producers participating in China’s food movement are certified. Certification is expensive to obtain, and mostly pursued by large agribusinesses. Instead, producers voluntarily hold themselves to production standards which they understand as ‘organic’: forgoing synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, using non-GMO seed, supporting soil fertility with intercropping and crop rotation, composting animal wastes, and so on.
