There's a big diagram showing the big companies that have taken over a lot
of small organic labels at http://www.msu.edu/~howardp/ . You'll recognize
some of the names. It says:

Phil Howard's research focuses on investigating the relationships between
food, agriculture and public health, as well as assisting communities to
characterize and respond to changes in the food system. He uses a variety
of methods including multilevel regression modeling, deliberative and
inclusionary processes, and data visualization. Phil is currently exploring
'food environments' and their potential relationships with health outcomes.
He is also studying national consumer interest in 'ecolabels' as a
potential strategy for improving the livelihoods of small- and medium-scale
farms, and consolidation in the food system, particularly in the rapidly
growing organic sector.

Phil earned a PhD in Rural Sociology from the University of Missouri in
2002, and conducted postdoctoral research at the Center for Agroecology and
Sustainable Food Systems at the University of California, Santa Cruz until
2006. He has taught an introductory Rural Sociology course at the
University of Missouri's Center for Distance and Independent Study since
2003. He is also a co-founder of the Santa Cruz County Food System Network,
and the Missouri Action Research Connection – a center for
community-based research at the University of Missouri.
