To Live in Our Damaged Worlds
The question of how to inhabit damaged worlds becomes pressing, and the notion of environmental justice, which emerged in the 1980s, is an attempt to respond to this situation. But this concept has been essentially thought around the notion of fair distribution of environmental risks among humans. Today, however, the ecological upheavals and destruction of refuge for living beings increasingly mark the end of risk-based management toward the reco…
Verrouillage du système semencier et enjeux de sa réappropriation
La sélection et la multiplication des semences font l’objet d’activités expérientielles et expérimentales depuis des siècles. Paysans, aristocrates, moines, chamans, prêtres et, plus tard, scientifiques et entreprises semencières, s’y sont attelés. La période suivant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale marque, pour une large proportion du système agricole mondial, le passage de l’agriculture domestique à la modernisation agricole aux visées productiviste…

The diplomacy of practitioners: For an ecology of practices about the problem of the coexistence of wind farms and red kites
Gathering information, comparing points of view, and designing actions in and about problematic situations are no longer purely academic activities. Learning about complex state of affairs is becoming an increasingly widely-distributed necessity and practice, including within civil society. We propose to give first-hand information – as practitioners and members of a citizens’ wind energy co-operative in Belgium – about the problematic and highly…

Fair Trade Milk Initiative in Belgium: Bricolage as an Empowering Strategy for Change
In a context of multiple crises, dairy farmers struggle to receive a fair remuneration for their work. This situation led to the creation of fair milk projects in Europe. But fair trade projects often suffer from ambiguous interpretations that place them simultaneously in and against the market. This study focuses on a Belgian milk label in order to analyse how dairy farmers developed a particular strategy to create their own fair milk. Based on …

La recherche-intervention pour une transition vers le développement durable
La transition vers le développement durable est ici abordée par la démarche de la recherche-intervention. L’implication des chercheurs dans une action collective les oblige à construire de nouveaux rapports entre recherche et acteurs de manière à rendre la première pertinente par rapport aux enjeux identifiés. La démarche étudiée dans cet article, le cas d’une filière bovine bio, comporte une étape d’identification des préoccupations et des point…
Steak up to the horns: The conventionalization of organic stock farming: knowledge lock-in in the agrifood chain
Dossier Le naturel et la qualité Équiper des filières durables ? L'élevage bio en Belgique
L'agriculture biologique est actuellement à un tournant de son développement : sollicitée de plus en plus fréquemment pour entrer dans une filière de type long, elle apparaît comme "sous-équipée", se confrontant ainsi d'autant plus durement à une filière conventionnelle qui, elle, est "suréquipée". Les auteurs analysent ce déplacement difficile en se référant au débat anglo-saxon sur la "conventionnalisation". Ensuite, plutôt que de l'analyser en…

Metabolising Risk: Food Scares and the Un/Re-Making of Belgian Beef
In this paper we explore the event of foodscares as an example of what Callon calls 'hot situations', in which the landscape of competing knowledge claims is at its most molten, and alternative production and consumption practices galvanise new modes of sense-making against the market and state-sanctioned rationalities of industrialisation. Through a case study of the Belgian cooperative Coprosain and its meat products, we examine the 'stuff' of …
