Greenwashed: The Corporate Takeover of Organic Food
Kevin Little didn’t set out to expose the truth about organic food. But a lifelong curiosity, and a personal health crisis, led him straight into the heart of the industry’s greatest betrayal.
What began as a grassroots movement to heal soil, farms, and communities has become a corporate feeding frenzy. The $60 billion organic industry, once driven by ideals of ecology, transparency, and health, is now dominated by multinational food giants that have quietly rewritten the rules.
The Corporate Takeover of Organic Food tells the inside story of how it happened.
From the idealistic pioneers like Sir Albert Howard and J.I. Rodale, to the industry lobbyists and boardroom deals that hollowed out the USDA Organic label, this book exposes how food conglomerates systematically dismantled the values that once defined organic.
You’ll
How beloved organic brands became factory farm operations, without changing their packaging
Why the USDA Organic label now protects corporate profits more than consumer health
How the “authenticity machine” creates the illusion of small-farm values in supermarket aisles
What regulatory capture looks like when it comes to your food
How global supply chains allow fraudulent "organic" imports into American homes
But this isn’t just an exposé of corporate greed, it’s a roadmap for reclaiming food integrity.
As the USDA label loses meaning, a new generation is building something from regenerative agriculture and Real Organic farms to CSAs and direct-to-consumer food systems that put values before volume.
If you’ve ever questioned the story behind your groceries—or wondered why your “organic” food doesn’t taste like it used to, this book has the answers the industry doesn’t want you to know.
Part investigative journalism, part personal journey, part call to action—Greenwashed is the definitive account of how corporate America hijacked organic food, and what we can do to take it back.
