“…The food-related practice observed at LAEV centers around the so-called Food Lobby. Comparable to both formal and informal food cooperatives and community supported agriculture (CSA) schemes, the Food Lobby is member-operated and possible through collective purchasing power, aligning with sustainable food systems through purchasing directly from local farmers, limiting food miles, and encouraging democratic decision-making (Tremblay et al 2019).…”

Ecovillage foodscapes: zooming in and out of sustainable food practices

This article uses foodscapes as a lens to explore the potential of ecovillages’ food practices towards enhancing sustainable food systems. Ecovillages are collective projects where members attempt to integrate sustainability principles into daily community life. In these communities, food acts, not only as an element of social life, but also as a venue through which to interact with mainstream food systems and society. Yet, how food practices at ecovillages contribute to sustainable food systems remains vague. This article proposes foodscapes, as a lens, for exploring the sustainability potential of place-based food practices in ecovillages, while also directing attention to how these practices intersect with networks at broader social and spatial scales. It asks, how can we better understand and draw from sustainable food practices, when considering these as both, place-based and relational? And what is the potential and the role of ecovillage communities to contribute to broader sustainable food system change? Drawing on ethnographic and food mapping methods, the article explores selected food practices at three ecovillage communities in the United States. Using social practice theory for “zooming in” on place-based practices and “zooming out” to examine relational networks, we investigate how these communities create internally sustainable food systems, while externally bridging themselves with broader urban and rural communities. Through viewing ecovillage food practices as place-based and relational, we develop a broader and spatially-focused understanding of food system sustainability.

“…A cooperative is the concept of an organization where individuals work together and can help explain how humans defend organizations, markets, and religions (Tremblay et al, 2019). Usually, a cooperative is composed of a personal network of volunteers who own or control an enterprise that distributes benefits based on use or ownership, and ownership is roughly equal among members.…”

This article offers an in-depth case study of the relevance of dairy cow milk cooperatives in Indonesia that align with the concept of strategic entrepreneurship in social benefit practices. An advocacy lens based on the strategic entrepreneurship model is used by making comparisons of the constructs that form strategic entrepreneurship to bridge a practical understanding of cooperatives with local cultural backgrounds. Descriptive analysis is used to report interrelated themes in the case study of cooperative organizations and finally interpretation. An interesting finding is based on the research results, that is, the wealth creation of an organization is not the final model variable, but a social benefit variable, which then becomes a cycle of environmental resources. Cooperatives realize that personal benefits are not a sub-variable of constructing goals. This research describes the dynamics of the opening of the concept of strategic entrepreneurship in cooperative companies that consider new social risks and benefits.

“…The background of this research is primarily to refer to economic development in Indonesia, especially in rural areas, to reach well-to-do society. Therefore, it needs to create a stable economy among the society, one of which is by conducting cooperative activities because it could generate positive social externalities, particularly in rural and developing areas (Tremblay et al, 2019). Cooperatives are more durable in times of economics stress (Boone, 2014).…”

“…Cooperatives are kind of organizations which create as an association to fulfill the members' comment needs and as an institution configurated by government to improve the living standards of the low-income people (Hubaib, 2020). The principles of the cooperatives are open membership, democratic control, distribution of surplus in proportion to trade, payment of limited interest on capital, political and religious neutrality, cash trading and promotion of education (Thompson in Tremblay et al, 2019). Later on, according to the International Co-operation Alliance, it includes autonomy and independence, concern for community (2015).…”
