The project, the everyday, and reflexivity in sociotechnical agri-food assemblages
Digital technologies have opened up new perspectives in thinking about the future of food and farming. Not only do these new technologies promise to revolutionise our way of meeting global food demand, they do so by boldly claiming that they can reduce their environmental impacts. However, they also have the potential to transform the organisation of agri-food systems more fundamentally. Drawing on assemblage theory, we propose a conceptual model…
Everyday digitalization in food and agriculture
Governing Farmers through data? Digitization and the Question of Autonomy in Agri-environmental governance
The digitization of the agricultural sector is connected with a number of promises that have been widely debated in both the public and the academic spheres. But attention has been mainly focused on farm production or management techniques, often neglecting the realm of governance, which has also begun a digital transformation. This article explores the premises of an informational model of governance and the integration of a logic of big data in…
La contrainte et l'alimentation comme vecteurs d'autonomisation dans des réseaux agroalimentaires alternatifs
Basé sur des recherches ethnographiques auprès d'initiatives d'agriculture contractuelle de proximité en Suisse : des collectifs réunissant producteurs et consommateurs autour d'un projet alimentaire commun, cet article propose de contribuer à la réflexion sur de nouvelles utopies agro-alimentaires, les réalités empiriques qu'elles recouvrent et les transformations de sens, mais aussi de modes de régulation, qu'elles opèrent. Deux éléments consti…
Farmers’ empowerment and learning processes in accountability practices
Certification and standards are key instruments to implement accountability in the contemporary governance of food systems. They are based on the idea that, thanks to the creation and circulation of information, promises to consumers are kept in increasingly complex value chains. However, critical examinations also describe it as a symptom of an ongoing globalisation and neoliberalisation, shifting power from the state to market actors, in partic…
En quête d’éthique
Dieses Dokument ist die Übersetzung des Artikels “Searching for Ethics: Legal requirements and empirical issues for anthropology” (Perrin et al. 2018). Es analysiert die neuen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen, die sich auf qualitative Forschungspraktiken auswirken und zur Institutionalisierung der Forschungsethik in den Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften in der Schweiz beitragen. Der Beitrag zeichnet die Entstehung neuer Formen der Forschungsregulierung …
The Good Farmer
Developed by leading authors in the field, this book offers a cohesive and definitive theorisation of the concept of the 'good farmer', integrating historical analysis, critique of contemporary applications of good farming concepts, and new case studies, providing a springboard for future research. The concept of the good farmer has emerged in recent years as part of a move away from attitude and economic-based understandings of farm decision-mak…
Searching for Ethics
This paper analyses the new legal provisions impacting qualitative research practices and contributing to the institutionalization of research ethics in Switzerland. After contextualizing the emergence of new forms of research regulation, it shows how their epistemological assumptions challenge anthropology. It then explores the issues related to the articulation between procedural ethics and processual ethics. Finally, it discusses the different…
The more-than-economic dimensions of cooperation in food production
Co-operative values beyond hybridity
Enacting Swiss cheese
This chapter provides a research project that explores the evolution of the Swiss dairy industry, in particular its industry milk chain, after the removal of the national quota system in 2009. It identifies two coexisting ontologies of a regional cheese: the market cheese and the cooperative cheese. Both are enacted in networks of relations through repeated processes of meaning, attribution and translation. After the deregulation of the milk mark…
Blind spots in agri-environmental governance
Attempts of making our food systems more sustainable have (partly) failed. Food production still contributes significantly to biodiversity losses, global warming and depletion of natural resources. Based on the postulation that this failure in the governance of environmental issues in agri-food systems relates notably to social and cultural aspects, this paper explores the literature in the social sciences looking for explanations. A first statem…
Family farming and gendered division of labour on the move
Introducing 'Seeds of Change' into the Food System? Localisation Strategies in the Swiss Dairy Industry
TheSwiss dairy-farming sector faces challenging times after the removal of milk quotas. In this context, several cooperative and federative structures have developed new strategies to improve the situation of dairy farmers. Local products play an important role in these strategies. Based on ethnographic work, this article looks at the social construction and negotiation of 'the local' in three case studies. Firstly, we show what diverging geograp…
Farmer autonomy and the farming self
Neoliberal natures on the farm
Effervescence patrimoniale au Sud
Dans les pays du Nord comme dans ceux du Sud, la patrimonialisation de la nature connaît actuellement un engouement de plus en plus vif. Des espèces aux espaces, des pratiques aux savoirs, les champs du patrimoine ne cessent de s’étendre, de se diversifier, et les processus de patrimonialisation de se multiplier : les populations locales interviennent de plus en plus fréquemment dans les démarches d’identification, de reconnaissance, de réhabilit…
Social Sciences and Farmers in Switzerland
Switzerland is known to offer substantial support to its national agriculture. However and despite the political importance of agriculture, very few social science research programmes on farming and agriculture exist. Indeed, Switzerland has never had an institutionalized and established "rural sociology". In a national context where the viability of agriculture depends largely on public money, discussions and criticism of the agricultural policy…
