There is a growing importance on health benefits as people are becoming conscious about the food they and their family members consume. Hence, there is a scope for organic grown products. Earlier people used to consume quality homegrown vegetables, pulses and fruits. This resulted in longevity and healthy lifestyle. The produce was sufficient for self-consumption but because of population explosion, shortsighted Government polices and LPG (Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization) farmers were not able to meet the growing market demand and supply. This study is an attempt to identify the possible means of providing alternative methods of farming, processing and marketing of organic products commercially. The study reveals that there is significant demand for organically grown produce; hence, more retail outlets can be established, which results in self-employment and sustainable nature of farming that can be promoted. The theme em Make in India validates in promoting self-employment, hence establishing the retail stores for organic produce and their by providing a wide scope in promoting the entrepreneurs in expansion of organic produce.

Mount Pleasant, a neighbourhood of Washington, DC that has experienced several decades of residential gentrification (Gale, 1980; Modan, 2007; Williams, 1988), nonetheless possesses a commercial corridor where local stores far outnumber boutique retail and corporate chain outlets. Its situation challenges a critical strain within the commercial gentrification literature that emphasises the likelihood of retail displacement during the gentrification process and characterises gentrifier consumers as primarily interested in retail outlets that are familiar or carefully designed to suit their taste. This study investigates gentrifiers’ consumption practices in Mount Pleasant to ascertain how they differ from those of peers in neighbourhoods where gentrification has followed a more typical trajectory. Using theories of distinction (Bourdieu, 1984) and social preservation (Brown-Saracino, 2009), I argue that many local gentrifiers, contradictorily, seek to accrue cultural capital by consuming ‘authentic’ local culture and products while paying attention to the costs of turnover and displacement.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
