  • Perceived justice of the Dutch food system transition

    Open AccessAnnemarieke De Bruin, I J M De Boer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2025References: 11

    Across the world, including in the Netherlands, a transition is unfolding towards sustainable and just food systems. Despite this directionality, the risk remains that the transition process reproduces existing injustices and/or creates new ones. In transitions, perceptions of justice play a critical role as perceived injustices can create disengagement or protest, whereas perceived justice can increase people's willingness to make changes or car…

  • Easier said than defined? Conceptualising justice in food system transitions

    Open AccessAnnemarieke De Bruin, I J M De Boer et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2023Cited by: 6References: 44

    The transition towards sustainable and just food systems is ongoing, illustrated by an increasing number of initiatives that try to address unsustainable practices and social injustices. Insights are needed into what a just transition entails in order to critically engage with plural and potentially conflicting justice conceptualisations. Researchers play an active role in food system transitions, but it is unclear which conceptualisations and pr…

  • Determining the transformative potential of circular agriculture initiatives

    Open AccessJelle Silvius, Anne G Hoogstra et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2023Cited by: 1References: 50

    Policymakers and scientists regard emerging circular initiatives as levers for transformations towards more sustainable food systems. However, it remains unclear how to determine the extent to which circular initiatives have transformative potential. That is, can these initiatives foster a transformation as a result of how they currently bring circularity into practice? In the transformation literature, the characteristics of transformative initi…

  • Energizing a transformation to a circular bioeconomy: Mechanisms to spread, deepen and broaden initiatives

    Open AccessO M Schagen, Tamara Metze et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2022Cited by: 3References: 19

    Transformative change is necessary to reach a circular bioeconomy. In this context, a variety of societal and business initiatives have emerged, which in their everyday practices aim to increase their circular impact. These emerging circular initiatives, so-called small wins, continuously spread, deepen and broaden and as such contribute to transformative change. A small win spreads by becoming larger and more numerous, deepens by becoming more r…

  • The Promised Land: Contrasting frames of marginal land in the European Union

    Open AccessAbigail Muscat, E M De Olde et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2022References: 53

    Appropriating marginal land is seen as a way to overcome a wide range of land-use challenges such as food-feed-fuel competition, avoiding land abandonment, and preserving nature. As a result, there is growing interest in policy and academic communities to identify, define and measure the potential of marginal land to overcome these challenges. However, multiple definitions of marginal land exist due to the various ways of framing the problems and…

  • Food, energy or biomaterials? Policy coherence across agro-food and bioeconomy policy domains in the EU

    Open AccessAbigail Muscat, E M De Olde et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 2References: 9

    The European Union (EU) envisions a shift towards a bioeconomy to address challenges such as reducing dependence on non-renewable resources, managing natural resources sustainably and food security. As a result, biomass will become an increasingly important resource in the bioeconomy. This will require careful and sustainable management especially because biomass comes from a wide variety of economic sectors and is governed by different policies.…

  • The Moral Complexity of Agriculture: A Challenge for Corporate Social Responsibility

    Open AccessE M De Olde, Vladislav ValentinovARTICLEJournal of Agricultural and…2019Cited by: 3References: 10

    Over the past decades, the modernization of agriculture in the Western world has contributed not only to a rapid increase in food production but also to environmental and societal concerns over issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, soil quality and biodiversity loss. Many of these concerns, for example those related to animal welfare or labor conditions, are stuck in controversies and apparently deadlocked debates. As a result we observe a par…
