Outline
MAKING sustainable food systems
The scope of this session is to present and discuss the involvement and commitment of practitioners, politicians, institutions and civil society in the field of sustainable food, how they change the food system.
An increasing number of initiatives combine various actors and practices to shape a more sustainable food system (i.e. CSA, Community Gardens, Urban and Vertical Farming, Food Sharing, Participatory Budgeting, etc.). Which challenges is this alternative food movement facing? Beyond the scope of each initiative, how do actors and practices create deeper structural changes towards more sustainable food systems? Topics for presentations can include (but may not be limited to) the following areas:
•Presentation of innovative initiatives, policies
•Linkages of different actors and networks
•Creation and support of new practices
•Challenges (for the initiatives) and conditions to create
structural change
•Contribution of projects to democratize food governance
MEASURING sustainable food systems
The scope of this session is to present and discuss applied methods and approaches used for the analysis of sustainable food systems. A range of approaches and methods can be used to measure effects or impacts of projects on the food system. They refer to or combine different disciplines (e.g. social sciences, environmental sciences, planning, agricultural sciences, etc.). We invite papers that address the following issues:
•Methods and approaches for food system analysis
•Methods and approaches to measuring
effects and impacts of
the projects
•Scales of measuring
•Linking the methodologies of Social Sciences with Natural/
Applied Sciences
RETHINKING sustainable food systems
This session seeks to present different concepts and approaches that shed light into new perspectives about building more sustainable food systems. Various concepts and approaches have been developed in order to study, understand and improve nowadays food systems. For instance, spatial approaches such as global, regional, local food systems serve as an analytical lens to connect geographic places where food is produced to where it is consumed. Food Planning approaches, on the other hand, focus more on policy and planning priorities to shape a more sustainable, healthier and just food system. Participants are invited to discuss alternative concepts and approaches that have not been widely applied and may require more consideration. Suggested topics include:
•Concepts and approaches for food system analysis from social,
economical or environmental perspectives
•Concepts and approaches to address food system change/transition
•The meaning of food initiatives, concepts or systems in terms of
environmental/climate, social, agricultural or economic parameters
