“…This paper takes its starting point in the contrasting position of 'strong' sustainability. In line with others adopting this approach (Gottschlich and Bellina 2016;Leach et al 2010;Raworth 2012;UNWCED 1987) we thus acknowledge that there are actual ecological limits that cannot be crossed if sustainability is to be reached (although due to the complexity of ecosystem dynamics these are seldom easy to identify precisely in practice). We also acknowledge that the power to act toward sustainability, as well as the impacts of particular sustainability actions differ across social groups in society and has to be accounted for in practical suggestions for action.…”

“…It relies heavily on technology development for solving existing tensions between the ideal and actual state of food production sustainability, and it largely black-boxes issues of inequality (Garnett 2014: 12). Although not described as such by Garnett, it is clear that this perspective fits well within an eco-modernist (or 'weak') approach to sustainability (Bond and Morrison-Saunders 2011;Neumayer 2003) which has dominated European policies over the past few decades (Baker 2007;Birch et al 2010;Couturier and Thaimai 2013;Gottschlich and Bellina 2016;Mol and Spaargaren 2000;Springett 2003). Largely guided by a win-win perspective, it emphasises the possibility of meeting the environmental and social challenges of economic development within the current neoliberal agenda (Mol and Spaargaren 2000).…”

Controlling Sustainability in Swedish Beef Production: Outcomes for Farmers and the Environment

Swedish beef and dairy farmers are currently facing a challenging financial situation. Simultaneously, beef farming contributes significant environmental impacts. To support farmers, actors from the whole value chain are now promoting Swedish beef as particularly 'sustainable'. The paper draws on critical discourse analysis of interviews with and documents from the largest Swedish supermarket chain ICA, Swedish farmer organisations and farmers to study how ICA and farmers articulate sustainability and their responsibility for the same. Articulations are subsequently discussed in the light of actual environmental impacts of beef production and the distribution of power in the beef value chain. The findings suggest that negative environmental impacts and farmers' struggles are largely hidden in the dominant articulation of sustainability. Furthermore, ICA does not use the power it has to steer consumers toward reduced beef consumption. We conclude with suggesting more open deliberation about current levels of beef sales and consumption and about what compromises to make when striving for 'sustainable' beef consumption.

“…With the aim of better understanding perceived environmental justice in the context of N2000 conflicts, we show that localized interpretations of N2000 justice emerged in response to particular circumstances (e.g. overlap with the national park) and are likely to draw on local values and identities (Clayton and Opotow 2003;Clayton 2018;Clayton, Koehn, and Grover 2013;Gottschlich and Bellina 2017;Phillips and Sexton 1999). Arguably, the local context makes certain N2000 justice concerns more relevant than others.…”

Largescale nature conservation programs such as European ecological network Natura 2000 tend to fuel local conservation conflicts due to perceived unbalance between costs and benefits, lack of recognition and representation of residents in the decision-making process concerning policy implementation and management. This study considers Fraser's critical model of political justice to understand how residents construct N2000 justice and discuss the potential implications for the political framing of N2000 conflicts. The novelty of this approach lies in that it embraces various components within the three justice domains: distribution, recognition, representation, to shed light on N2000 conflicts and highligh justice as a way to legitimize N2000 policy.

“…Thus, research in this stream could explore alternative SA models and what they could mean for large-scale sustainability. What concerns and constraints around sustainability do existing models and experiments expose in terms of social justice and economic issues (Gottschlich and Bellina 2017 )?…”

This article takes stock of sustainability research in marketing and argues for developing a Strong Sustainability Research (SSR) program, led by a Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) approach. First, I define weak vs. strong sustainability and identify two main problems with continuing to research business with the weak sustainability approach. Second, I discuss past approaches to sustainability research in marketing, which primarily promote weak sustainability. Third, I use the agriculture industry to illustrate how an SSR program in marketing could be developed to bring insights to practitioners and policy makers and build new modes of production, consumption and exchange. Finally, I suggest that the SSR program facilitates collaboration between mainstream marketing and CCT researchers by providing a common ontological platform that can transform epistemological differences into complementary strengths. I argue SSR is a way that marketing research can gain broad impact and relevance.
