From grain to nature : a rice-based history of Philippine environmental discourse, 1946-2005 / Dennis Erasga. - ix, 95 pages 22 cm.
Includes index.
From Grain to Nature is an attempt to narrate an "alternative version" of the origin of Philippine environmental discourse via the social biography of its most important cultural crop-rice. By tracing the discursive events that led to the genetic evolution of this crop, Dennis Erasga weaves a story of rice using a triptych of images-rice as a political grain, a scientific seed, and a virtual metaphor of nature-each accompanied by three distinct yet overlapping discourses, creating a new level of consciousness that problematizes the relationship of humans and nature in pursuit of a national development agenda.
