Chapter five examines natural foods stores that sold vegetarian and organic products with the goal of advancing the causes of environmentalism, animal rights, and pacifism. Natural foods sellers understood their small, independent storefronts as ethical alternatives to American supermarkets and agribusinesses’ relentless pursuit of profit through exploitative labor and environmentally destructive systems of production and distribution. Like feminist businesses, natural foods stores were eager practitioners of cooperative ownership and collective management. By the late 1970s, the natural foods market had become more lucrative than anyone could have imagined a decade earlier. Yet as companies like Whole Foods Market aggressively pursued profits in the 1980s and ‘90s, they would move far from natural foods sellers’ original values of shared ownership, democratic workplaces, and collaboration with social movements.

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>O setor agrícola Brasileiro encontra-se em expansão, tornando-se um dos principais contribuintes do aumento do crescimento do PIB nacional e participação ativa na economia mundial. No entanto, a produção agrícola e agropecuária encontra na infraestrutura logística física seu principal desafio, já que tem que procurar soluções para os problemas de escoamento da produção. Este problema soma-se à falta de planejamento estratégico das cadeias de suprimento, de produção e distribuição, e essencialmente ao problema de planejamento de redes logísticas. Para contribuir na solução deste problema, este trabalho desenvolveu um modelo de planejamento do sistema logístico de distribuição para o setor hortigranjeiro de produtos orgânicos. O modelo propõe a criação de um banco de dados para diagnosticar a situação de áreas de estudos e simular cenários alternativos de redes logísticas, tendo como principais variáveis de decisão: o agrupamento de unidades produtivas, as características de veículos e localizações de pontos de venda alternativos.</p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The Brazilian agricultural sector is under enlargement, becoming one of the main contributors to the growth of national GDP as well active involvement in the worldwide economy. However, the logistic physical infrastructure is the main endeavor for the agricultural and farming production since it’s necessary to find solutions for the problems related to production delivery. This problem must be considered in addition to the lack of strategic planning of supply chains, of production and distribution, and mainly to the problem of logistics networks planning. In order to assist the solution of this problem, this study developed a model for the planning of logistic distribution system to the produce sector for organic products. This model suggests the creation of a database to diagnose the condition of study areas and simulate alternative logistic network scenarios, having as the main variables decision: the grouping of productive units, vehicle characteristics and the location of alternative selling spots.

The shift in consumption patterns from non-organic to organic products has hit many developed countries in the last two decades. This is supported by the increase in people's income, urbanization, awareness of environmental and health issues and changes in the demographic structure. For a developing country like Indonesia, shifting eating pattern such as that experienced by the developed countries actually has occurred especially among the middle to upper- income level. This study aims to analyze the value chain of production and distribution of organic products and their determinants of purchase. The results show that the distribution channels of organic products vary. Some farmers sell their products directly to consumers or supermarket, while others use agents to collect the products and sell them to the consumers, supermarkets or to other agents. The highest added value creation occurs in the upstream. From the ordered logit model applied, it can be concluded that there is a positive effect of income on the probability of buying organic products more frequently but there is no significant effect of education. The probability to buy organic products more frequently is also higher for younger ages, but the reason to consume related with the environment and a high price do not affect the probability to buy organic products.

Political democracy should be equivalent to the economic development of the quality of democracy, economic democracy if not upright, even the owner of the ruling power and money, which is parallel to force global corporatocracy. Consequently, the economic oligarchy preservation reinforces control of production and distribution from upstream to downstream and power monopoly of the market. The implication, increasingly sharp economic disparities, exclusive owner of the money and power become fertile, and the end could jeopardize the harmony of the national economy. The loss of national economic identity that makes people feel lost the “pilot of the state”. What happens then is the autopilot state. Viewing unclear direction of the economy, the national economy should clarify the true figure.

This chapter poses the question of “reality”. In opposition to a substantialist vision that has notably characterized modernity, Whitehead develops a processual conception of the real which is made of becomings and individuations. This vision of the real is envisaged starting from three distinct questions: First of all, how to exactly define a process of individuation? This question is treated in its historical aspects (Aristotle and Leibniz) and with respect to contemporary philosophy (Simondon and Deleuze). Secondly, where do the forms, the puissances, the virtualities derive from which accompany any individuation? Starting from this question it is most notably the relation with Platonism and its heritage that is elaborated. And third, which vision of time is implied in a theory of individuation? Even though close to Bergson, Whitehead’s philosophy profoundly differs from it with respect to the status of time and builds up new links with contemporary science.
