“…The concept of "virtuous circle" is proposed to underline the necessity of renewing the specific resources that have been mobilized for the production process and to ensure a long-term perspective [14]. More generally, those works on GIs have contributed to consideration of the territorial scale as an unquestionable approach to enhance sustainability [15,16] and LAFS as expressions of alternativeness; that is to say, systems that are "signaling a shift away from the industrial and conventional food sector" [17].…”

Sharing Values for Changing Practices, a Lever for Sustainable Transformation? The Case of Farmers and Processors in Interaction within Localized Cheese Sectors

International research and development organizations have acknowledged that localized agrifood systems, particularly geographical indications (GIs), are a lever for evolving towards sustainable agriculture. Such a premise is neither spontaneous nor systematic. Research and development organizations show their limit in proposing approaches to overcome this raised issue: The performance-based approach of sustainability, associated with a strict economical understanding of activities, is at stake. We propose the introduction of a values-based approach to the understanding of localized activities and their contribution to sustainability. We base our demonstration on the study of the relationships between stakeholders within GIs on a day-to-day basis: Corsica and Western Pyrenees (WP) are regions where traditional cheeses (respectively GI Brocciu and GI Ossau-Iraty) are produced with ewe milk. We build a typology of relationships between farmers providing the milk and dairies, based on the theory of worlds of worth (from industrial to artisanal). We cross-reference it with values given to milk and cheese. Despite the framing role of GIs, milk is mainly valued according to industrial criteria of quantity and sound farming practices have no weightage. However, artisanal and civic initiatives have emerged using raw milk and fostering more sustainable practices, notably based on organic farming. Though those initiatives are currently marginal, they might be promising seeds of change.

“…Salmon, cod, hake and mackerel are the most consumed fish species in the EU (EUMOFA, 2016). Food production systems are also very diverse, from local to global and cannot be directly compared to one another (Baritaux et al, 2016). As a consequence, there is no "one fits all" solution to change food production and consumption.…”

Aquaponics is an approach of coupling two technologies: recirculation aquaculture (fish-farms) and hydroponics (soil-less cultivation of crops). While it is perceived as a way to contribute to more sustainable food systems, the technology is still in its infancy, with several challenges. This paper describes current conditions of development and identifies aspects that can promote or hinder future pathways. We focus our analysis on the EU, using Germany as an institutional case study, while also considering worldwide developments. We propose a framework to analyze aquaponics as an emerging technological innovation system at the interface between existing fish and plant production systems. The approach is explorative based on a literature review and interviews with experts. The main findings are that stakeholders have different views regarding the future development pathways, knowledge to manage complex systems in the long term is needed and it is still unclear how to design institutional conditions to deliver sustainable outcomes.

“…Une part importante des travaux sur les interactions entre filières et territoires analysent les systèmes agroalimentaires localisés (Muchnik et al, 2008), les filières sous indication géographique (Paus et Reviron, 2010) et s'intéressent aux recompositions à l'oeuvre à partir des notions de « quality, territory and embeddedness » (Ilbery et al, 2005). Le concept « d'ancrage » est largement mobilisé dans cette littérature (Deverre et Lamine, 2010), et trois conceptions sont généralement utilisées : l'ancrage social, spatial ou géographique, et écologique (Baritaux et al, 2016). Pour les filières standard, peu de travaux abordent la structure organisationnelle de ces filières comme verrou ou levier pour assurer une (re)-territorialisation des productions (Fares et al, 2012), alors que Sonnino (2007) montre que les spécificités territoriales peuvent être « appropriés » par des acteurs opérant au niveau global pour maximiser leur profit en accédant à des marchés de niche.…”
