有机食品作为一种社会现象的兴起在政治上意味着什么？这种消费形式对社会有什么政治影响？在全球化、工业化的食品和合理化的消费体系的整体进程中，这是一个小的、不重要的“光点”吗？它甚至可能是这一过程的同谋吗？或者是一个激进的突破？对这些问题的一系列答案构成了目前在审查农业粮食系统时进行的“生产-消费辩论”。如果农业食品网络的概念是互动的，社会生态代谢电路连接农业自然，社会劳动，corpus和符号，那么本文认为，分析关注农业食品研究的重点是压倒性的生产“时刻”在这些电路。尽管有许多“食品恐慌”、反转基因运动和疯牛病大流行的教训，但在农业食品研究中，生产和消费之间的不对称现在占主导地位，尽管在其他领域，如杰克逊（1999年）所指出的，消费已得到“适当的”承认”（第95页）。随着这种不对称性的解决，当代的“农业问题”的重新表述可能会调查新形式的进步食品政治的潜力，从“弱”的斗争模式的社会秩序，如知识体系，生产者和消费者之间的更正式的联盟。
What does the rise of organic food as a social phenomenon mean politically? What political impact does this form of consumption have on society? Is it a small and unimportant "blip," in the overall march of globalized, industrialized food and rationalized consumption systems. Is it even, perhaps, complicit in this process? Or is it a radical break ? The array of answers to these questions forms the "production-consumption debate" currently taking place in the examination of agro-food systems. If agro-food networks are conceptualized as interactive, socio-ecological metabolic circuits linking agricultural nature, social labor, the corporeal and the symbolic, then this paper argues that analytical concern in agro-food studies has focused overwhelmingly on the production 'moment' in these circuits. Despite the lessons of numerous 'food scares', anti-GMO movements and the mad cow disease pandemic, an asymmetry now holds sway in agro-food studies between production and consumption even though in other fields, as Jackson (1999) notes, consumption has been "duly 'acknowledged" (p. 95). As this asymmetry is addressed, a contemporary reformulation of the 'agrarian question' might investigate the potential for new forms of progressive food politics, ranging from 'weak' struggles over the modes of social orderings, such as knowledge systems, to more formal alliances between producers and consumers.
