Moving forward Akis research and practice for agroecological transitions in Europe
Purpose This paper presents findings from a critical review of European AKIS research, guided by a transformative agroecology perspective, to refine analytical frameworks for assessing their capacity to support systemic change.Design/Methodology/Approach The review followed an original analytical framework developed through a comprehensive synthesis of key agroecological frameworks and work. It was applied to 50 peer-reviewed studies in English, …
From charity to justice? A comparative analysis of conventional food aid and agroecology-oriented food redistribution initiatives
The social justice dimension of agroecological transitions is often overlooked, with related initiatives criticised for excluding socially marginalised groups. Agroecology-oriented Food Redistribution Initiatives (AFRIs) emerged during COVID-19 to address the heightened food insecurity levels, linking agroecology with food justice struggles. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork conducted in two AFRIs and several Conventional Food Security Organisa…
Blurred powers, multiple agencies, and discontinuous temporalities. A multi-level perspective on bottom-up innovation in agri-food policies
Dual language in higher education: Assessing student success and student experiences
Although long‐standing research has documented the many benefits of dual language (DL) education programs in the K‐12 setting, there are few studies on the impact of DL in higher education. This study analyzes DL education at a Hispanic‐Serving Institution (HSI) where certain classes are taught in Spanish or bilingually across diverse disciplines. In this mixed methods research study, we examine (1) how enrollment in these classes impacts student…
Territorialising knowledge-policy interfaces: Lessons from urban food governance spaces
There has been increased academic attention on enhancing the effectiveness of knowledge-policy interfaces at the international level for urgent food systems transformation. However, previous literature signals that actions to improve science, policy, and society relations occur at multiple scales and often through informal avenues. This paper examines the potential role of multi-actor urban food governance spaces in developing more inclusive and …
Complementing or co-opting? Applying an integrative framework to assess the transformative capacity of approaches that make use of the term agroecology
The paper discusses the increasing use of the term agroecology in scientific literature and how its meanings vary in different contexts. However, the key issue is not the different understandings of agroecology per se, but whether various interpretations align with its intrinsic systemic and transformative meaning. To address this, the paper presents an integrative framework to assess approaches that use the term agroecology, and distinguish betw…
Intersectional coalitions towards a just agroecology: Weaving mutual aid and agroecology in Barcelona and Seville
Although in theory social justice is considered as a core dimension of agroecological transitions, alternative food initiatives related to agroecology have been criticised for their exclusionary practices based on important social and economic biases. In this article, we adopt the lens of political intersectionality to study two cases of Agroecology-oriented Food Redistribution Coalitions in Spain that emerged to address the rising levels of food…
Sustainable food policies without sustainable farming? Challenges for agroecology-oriented farmers in relation to urban (sustainable) food policies
Building agroecology with people. Challenges of participatory methods to deepen on the agroecological transition in different contexts
Principles for designing Agroecology-based Local (territorial) Agri-food Systems: A Critical Revision
Alternative food systems and networks, which have emerged around the world, are often fragmentary, reduced in size and frequently unfold in parallel, hardly linked to each other. Agroecology faces the challenge of scaling up these initiatives to gain size and a significant impact on food production and consumption. Within the agroecological movement, however, diverse conceptions exist of what a sustainable food system should be. It is thus necess…
Multi-actor networks and innovation niches: University training for local Agroecological Dynamization
Language Ideology: The Case of Spanish in Departments of Foreign Languages
In this article we investigate language ideology in a department of Spanish. We are concerned with examining the acquisition and transmission of linguistic culture in departments of foreign languages within university settings and the ways in which views about non-English languages that are part of the American cultural dialogue are maintained and nurtured by educational institutions. Using long-term participant-observation data and focused inter…
