Agricultural living labs
Purpose This conceptual study addresses methodological and conceptual gaps in Agricultural Living Labs (ALLs) by integrating Mezirow’s Transformative Learning (TL) theory into their design. It aims to enhance agricultural education and knowledge co-creation, enabling stakeholder-driven resilience amid climate volatility.Design/methodology/approach This study follows a qualitative, conceptual, and meta-analytical design, developed through a four-s…
Shifting the narrative
Despite extensive scholarship on gender inequality in West African cocoa production, women's land and labour constraints are often treated as static outcomes rather than dynamic relational processes. This study draws on narrative analysis to examine the everyday experiences of Ivorian women cocoa producers, with particular attention to how access to land and the organisation of labour are co-constituted in practice. Women's participation in the c…
Can cooperative membership foster compliance with New European Union regulations on deforestation-free production? Evidence from cocoa farmers in Western Côte d'Ivoire
Cocoa cultivation ( Theobroma cacao ) in Côte d'Ivoire faces significant challenges, including deforestation, poverty, and child labour. Like other countries involved in the production and export of palm oil, cattle, soy, coffee, cocoa, timber, and rubber, Côte d'Ivoire now faces the challenge of meeting new European Union regulations on deforestation-free production (EUDR) by June 2025, posing multiple questions and challenges on implementation.…
Elongating the causes of social vulnerability
Knowledge and methodological gaps exist concerning less tangible social sustainability dimensions that unfold over time in complex ways. • Structural factors that increase vulnerability in the Ivorian cocoa sector are not yet addressed by policymakers and value chain actors. • Cocoa producers are highly vulnerable to price shocks and production-related risks, ultimately unable to achieve a decent standard of living. • Social sustainability is com…
Actors and their roles for improving resilience of farming systems in Europe
Finding pathways to enhance the resilience of farming systems (FSs) in Europe is key, given the increasing challenges threatening them. FSs are complex socio-ecological systems in which social and ecological components are strongly linked. Social actors have the capacity to shape the FSs’ resilience, but there is a knowledge gap about how they can best do it. The aim of this paper is to analyse the roles played by the actors in FSs when dealing w…
Participatory assessment of critical thresholds for resilient and sustainable European farming systems
Farming systems in Europe are experiencing multiple stresses and shocks that may push systems beyond critical thresholds after which system change is expected to occur. These critical thresholds may lie in the economic, environmental, social and institutional domain. In this paper we take a participatory approach with involvement of farming system stakeholders to assess the presence of critical thresholds in 11 European farming systems, and the p…
