Lock-ins and bounded strategies
Organic farming is central to the sustainability goals of the European Union, yet it remains marginal in intensively farmed regions such as Flanders. Taking up the notion of systemic lock-in, we examine why organic vegetable farming struggles to expand in this region and why a strategy developed in a participatory systems mapping workshop converged on a bounded set of actions perceived as feasible by participants. Findings reveal how multiple mec…
Cross-Sector Partnerships for Social–Ecological Resilience and Transformation
In an era of social–ecological crises, resilience and transformation are closely related societal ambitions, but they can exacerbate tensions between public, private, and civil society members of cross-sector partnerships (XSPs). Bridging management and organization studies with social–ecological research, we advance a panarchy framework of adaptive cycles nested across interconnected scales, in which XSPs are embedded. As portrayed in the panarc…
Too Good to Fail
At the intersection of rapidly advancing digital technologies and growing social-ecological concerns, the role of social platform–based enterprises is increasingly prominent. These platforms face complex legitimacy challenges. Their survival depends on achieving sustained user growth––a process that can, in turn, create dynamics that pull them away from their social mission. This study investigates how social platform–based enterprises sustain le…
Social identity and place-based dynamics in community resilience building for natural disasters
Natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts pose fundamental challenges to ecosystems and the communities that inhabit them, hence triggering and even forcing community renewal over time. In preparation for future disasters, communities need to develop integrated disaster responses, that is, responses that combine scripted action (such as disaster plans and procedures) and emergent action (such as improvised network formation an…
The Effect of Ugandan Coffee Farmers’ Role Identity on Their Experiential Learning
Background: Although the literature on education and learning sciences determined how student identities influence their experiential learning process, this link is less clear in the agricultural context, where farmers have faced unique value chain challenges i.e., production to marketing. Purpose: This study contributes to examining how farmers’ role identities support or hamper farmers’ experiential learning processes. Methodology: First, a qua…
“Nano” Regeneration
This article provides a nano (hyperlocal) view of climate change mitigation by viewing regenerative organizing through the eyes (as well as bodies and senses, etc.) of the households engaged in community-based energy projects. By showing what humans make up for in the largely absent relationship between nature and technology in these projects, we envision an incremental extension of the literature on community-based energy. The radically differen…
Adoption of climate‐smart agriculture among smallholder farmers
Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture, with serious impacts on smallholder farmers’ food security and livelihoods. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being promoted to facilitate climate change adaptation and mitigation. While there is evidence that CSA supports smallholders’ adaption to climate change, the rate of CSA adoption remains low, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Previous studies have explained the low adoption b…
Inclusive and adaptive business models for climate-smart value creation
Climate-smart business models target multiple Sustainable Development Goals by fostering agricultural productivity, supporting farm and farmer livelihood resilience, and encouraging climate mitigation. While many business models (cl)aiming to create climate-smart value already exist both in agricultural development and business practice, little scholarly attention has so far been directed toward their functioning. In this paper, we argue that bus…
Harnessing Wicked Problems in Multi-stakeholder Partnerships
Despite the burgeoning literature on the governance and impact of cross-sector partnerships in the past two decades, the debate on how and when these collaborative arrangements address globally relevant problems and contribute to systemic change remains open. Building upon the notion of wicked problems and the literature on governing such wicked problems, this paper defines harnessing problems in multi - stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) as the app…
Roles and drivers of agribusiness shaping C limate‐ S mart L andscapes
The Climate‐Smart Landscape (CSL) approach has recently emerged as an integrated management strategy to address the increasing pressures on agricultural production, ecosystem conservation, rural livelihoods, and climate change mitigation/adaptation. Agribusiness companies play a controversial role in achieving CSL goals. On one hand, their operations cause land and natural resource degradation. On the other hand, they have technical, managerial, …
Pathways of transformation in global food and agricultural systems
Understanding the organization of sharing economy in agri-food systems
Despite the proliferation of sharing economy initiatives in agri-food systems, the recent literature has still not unravelled what sharing exactly entails from an organizational standpoint. In light of this knowledge gap, this study aims to understand which resources are shared, and how, in a heterogeneous set of sharing economy initiatives in the context of food and agriculture. Specifically, this study compares the organization of various forms…
