Quality Assessment of Privately Managed Public Space
This exploratory study addresses the problem of limited research on quality assessments of newly emerging multi-use market formats that function as social hubs and their management as privately managed public spaces. Using Āgenskalns Market, a revitalised multi-use market hall in Riga, as a case study, the authors apply an assessment framework based on Yuri Impens’ study on covered food halls, incorporating quality criteria from Vikas Mehta’s Pub…
Lost in a haze or playing to partners’ strengths? Learning to collaborate in three transdisciplinary European Living Labs
The ability to learn from each other plays a central role in successful transdisciplinary (TD) collaboration. This article systematically investigates how learning to collaborate allows researchers and practitioners to navigate the challenges of collaborative TD work. Drawing on social learning theory, we emphasise the processual nature of social learning in TD research as learning to collaborate. We examine collaborative learning processes in th…
The future of small farms and small food businesses as actors in regional food security
Outcomes of 13 participatory foresight workshops are compared. • Small farms' and businesses' contribution to food security is important in three of the four considered scenarios. • Concerns on small farms and food businesses relate to the broader rural setting. • Weak collective action will hamper the adaptive capacity of small farms
Whose ethics and for whom? Dealing with ethical disputes in agri-food governance
In contemporary societies there is a continuous process of creation and destruction of ethics. Shared norms are fuzzy, as actors tend to share core principles but interpret them differently. In this paper we analyse three cases of ethical dispute in the agri-food sector by employing the distinction between matters of fact and matters of concern proposed by Bruno Latour. We further suggest that ethics in the agri-food industry should be considered…
Benefitting from the global, protecting the local
Typology and distribution of small farms in Europe
The contribution of small farms to local food supply, food security and food sovereignty is widely acknowledged at a global level. In the particular case of Europe, they often are seen as an alternative to large and specialised farms. Assessing the real role of small farms has been limited by a lack of information, as small farms are frequently omitted from agricultural censuses and national statistics. It is also well acknowledged that small far…

Local and farmers' knowledge matters! How integrating informal and formal knowledge enhances sustainable and resilient agriculture
Bricolage for Self-Sufficiency
In this article the bricolage concept is applied to compare the organisational dynamics of two alternative food networks (AFNs) in Riga and Bristol respectively. It is argued that bricolage is a useful concept to understand the dynamics of AFNs. The concept 'bricolage' refers to the free use of any materials at hand. Bricoleurs accept that these materials might not be ideal, but nevertheless use them as long as they offer characteristics that hel…
A discursive analysis of oppositional interpretations of the agro-food system
The Evolution of Household Foodscapes over Two Decades of Transition in Latvia
This article traces changes in household food consumption patterns comparing the late Soviet period and the present day based on household interviews and interpretive analysis. We reconstruct and visualize four foodscapes from households of varying socioeconomic contexts, based on their memories of food consumption prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union and their lived experiences of food consumption today. These vignettes are a basis to discus…
Learning as Issue Framing in Agricultural Innovation Networks
PurposeNetworks are increasingly viewed as entities of learning and innovation in agriculture. In this article we explore learning as issue framing in two agricultural innovation networks.Design/methodology/approachWe combine frame analysis and social learning theories to analyse the processes and factors contributing to frame convergence and hence improved practical collaborative outcomes in networks. Issue framing in the networks was followed d…
Rurality as a Created Field
The article looks at the post-socialist countryside as a created field constructed through the discourses and practices of different actors. Despite the fact that small-scale holdings are the major outcome of agricultural reform, and subsistence oriented farmers constitute the bulk of the rural population, there are a variety of other actors in the new Latvian countryside. Their interests are reflected in three competing approaches to rural devel…

Perceptions of ethnicity in Latvian childhood memories
This article attempts to investigate the formation of children's ethnicity through analysis of childhood life stories. Examining childhood memories of people of different nationalities living in Latvia, the article focuses on certain questions. How does ethnicity appears to a young child? How do children come to understand the meaning of their own ethnic group membership, how do they respond to and deal with the differences among groups? What is …
