A social-ecological approach to understanding urban food systems
Delivering sustainable and healthy food for all in urban areas requires inter- and transdisciplinary frameworks that account for the complexity of social-ecological interactions configuring highly diverse urban food systems. However, despite the increasing urbanization of our planet and the degradation of its ecological base, studies of urban food systems have largely overlooked critical urban and social-ecological elements, including political a…
Moving forward Akis research and practice for agroecological transitions in Europe
Purpose This paper presents findings from a critical review of European AKIS research, guided by a transformative agroecology perspective, to refine analytical frameworks for assessing their capacity to support systemic change.Design/Methodology/Approach The review followed an original analytical framework developed through a comprehensive synthesis of key agroecological frameworks and work. It was applied to 50 peer-reviewed studies in English, …
Mapping the literature on alternative food systems in the Global South. A scoping review
Alternative food systems (AFSs) encompassing diverse initiatives, networks, and practices that seek to reconfigure food system relationships and operations have received heightened academic attention in the last decades. However, research in the Global South (GS) is more recent, and a systematic synthesis of their functioning, potentials, and limitations is still lacking. Following JBI methodology, this scoping review addresses this gap by mappin…
Blurred powers, multiple agencies, and discontinuous temporalities. A multi-level perspective on bottom-up innovation in agri-food policies
Territorialising knowledge-policy interfaces
There has been increased academic attention on enhancing the effectiveness of knowledge-policy interfaces at the international level for urgent food systems transformation. However, previous literature signals that actions to improve science, policy, and society relations occur at multiple scales and often through informal avenues. This paper examines the potential role of multi-actor urban food governance spaces in developing more inclusive and …
The multiple and contested worlds of urban food governance
Cities are positioned as critical actors in agri-food sustainability transitions through the implementation of food policy councils and food strategies for urban policymaking. Promoting participatory arrangements in food policymaking allows multiple actors to engage in a contested process of mutual learning that helps construct a common goal. The development of these multi-actor instruments has meant that social movements have had the possibility…
The role of cities in good governance for food security
Cities have become increasingly involved in food security concerns that go far beyond their boundaries by rescaling food governance to a more local level. While the role of cities as new food policy actors has attracted increased interest, few studies have critically analysed urban food governance. Critical accounts of these new governance configurations are particularly necessary, and more relevant in times of crises, as good governance is cruci…
