Abstract
ABSTRACT Scholarly interest in the counter-movement during the third food regime transition has mainly been focused on open resistance. However, that view omits the grand picture consisting of 230 million Chinese smallholders and their everyday practices. This paper analyzes home gardening by Chinese smallholders based on a 10-year follow-up investigation. It reveals that their goal is to achieve ‘insiders eating home-grown food’, constituting a hidden and unconfrontational resistance to commercialization and globalization. Moreover, such resistance has formed a powerful force with strategic importance in China, having the potential to enlighten the counter-movement and thereby reshape the food regime.
