Abstract
The 1940s saw the emergence in Australia of an organic gardening and farming movement with links to the far right involving both personal connections and ideological convergences. Themes of natural law, unity of soil and people, and anti-urbanism—all attractive to far-right ideologues—can be found within the discourse of the early organic movement. However, not all of these themes were central to the movement, and organic advocates did not adopt a far-right agenda en masse. Though attractive to some as a romantic reaction to modernity, this article argues that organics encompassed a range of political standpoints.
