摘要:Is ecological modernisation solely an economic and political regulatory strategy,or could the societal transformation or switchover also be explained by way of culturalprocesses. The switchover, which can be defined as the growth of environmental awarenessin society and its institutions, elicits different responses from industrial actors. Bottom-upstrategies of innovation, communication and the development of mediating institutions tosupport and build on the subjective commitments of actors in the production chain, may wellbe effective policies for the ecological modernisation of society. Cultural environmental politicscould focus on the empowerment of ecologically reflective practitioners and their networkrelationships as a democratic means of progressing ecological modernisation. In the contextof a transition to organic in the Danish food sector, these themes of cultural politics arediscussed, with specific reference to case studies in bread production
