“…The association of environment and flavor-terroir-is used in the wine industry to differentiate quality attributes based on production region (7,38). Terroir has been used more broadly to describe a range of agricultural products, including meat and dairy (14,32), tea (11), coffee (3), and tequila (9). Additionally, Murphy et al (29) reported on the development of technologies, such as the Irish single pot still, that may accentuate terroir-based attributes.…”

J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 75(4): [345][346][347][348][349][350][351][352][353] 2017 This research tested the hypothesis that barley genotype can affect beer flavor and assessed the relative contributions of genotype and location to beer sensory descriptors. Golden Promise, Full Pint, 34 of their doubled haploid progeny, and CDC Copeland were grown at three locations in Oregon, U.S.A. Grain from these trials was micromalted and the resulting malts used for nano-brewing. Sensory evaluations were conducted on the nano-brews. Barley genotype had significant effects on many sensory descriptors. The most significant sensory descriptorswhen comparing barley genotypes-were cereal, color, floral, fruity, grassy, honey, malty, toasted, toffee, and sweet. Golden Promise was significantly higher in fruity, floral, and grassy flavors, whereas Full Pint was significantly higher in malty, toffee, and toasted flavors. CDC Copeland was closest to neutral for most flavor traits. There were notable differences for some descriptors between locations. New combinations of parental flavor attributes were observed in the progeny. Multitrait analysis revealed regions of the barley genome with significant effects on malting quality and flavor traits. These findings are, of course, applicable only to the barley germplasm tested, the environment sampled, and the protocols used for micromalting and brewing. The necessary largerscale experiments involving optimized malts and larger volumes of beer are in process.

“…Clearly fixing the regulations that each country has to credit this type of product is also defining, as well as the transparency and agility in the procedures that allow consolidating the processes (Boucher and Reyes, 2013). Bowen and Valenzuela (2009) recognize that the certification is a labeling mechanism in markets of monopolistic competition, so benefits associated with the differentiation of producers compared to the rest of makers that are part of the community, are produced; therefore, this is an element that guarantees the territory-quality link and which derives into safety and satisfaction for the consumer.…”

ResumenEl propósito de este trabajo es presentar una propuesta que contribuya a fortalecer la metodología de los Sistemas Agroalimentarios Localizados (SIAL) mediante tres aportes relevantes. El primero consiste en ubicar los ejes teóricos que dan soporte al SIAL. El segundo es la definición de una serie de elementos de apoyo para generar la información que exige cada eje. El tercero son las etapas que debe seguir el investigador que selecciona al SIAL como enfoque de análisis. Para elaborarla se realizó una revisión sobre los diferentes enfoques que se emplean para el estudio de la agroindustria y de manera especial sobre el SIAL. Esto permitió identificar los ejes teóricos. Despúes se seleccionaron los instrumentos metodológicos que podrían mejorar el enfoque. Posteriormente se estableció que esta propuesta metodológica fortalecida se sustentaría en dos componentes, uno de diagnóstico y otro de aplicación. En los resultados se describen detalladamente los instrumentos metodológicos sugeridos, así como las cinco etapas que integran la propuesta fortalecida. Asimismo, se presentan los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de caso. Se concluye que esta propuesta puede ser muy útil para todos aquellos investigadores interesados en estudiar el vínculo que pudiera existir entre los productos agroalimentarios y el territorio donde se generan y definir si son capaces de proporcionar una "renta territorial" para impulsar el desarrollo económico de dichas zonas.Palabras clave: etapas del SIAL, instrumentos de apoyo, propuesta metodológica fortalecida, sistema agroalimentario localizado. AbstRActThe objective of this study is to present a proposal that contributes to strengthening the methodology of Localized Agrifood Systems (Sistemas Agroalimentarios Localizados, SIAL) through three relevant contributions. The first consists in locating the theoretical axes that support SIAL. The second is defining a series of supporting elements to generate the information that each axis demands. The third is describing the stages that researchers who select SIAL as analysis approach must follow. In order to do this, a revision was carried out about the different approaches that are used for the study of agroindustry and especially of SIAL. This allowed identifying the theoretical axes. Then, the methodological instruments that could improve the approach were selected. After, it was established that this strengthened methodological proposal would be based on two components: one of diagnosis and another of application. The suggested methodological instruments are detailed in the results, as well as the five stages that make up the strengthened proposal. Likewise, the results obtained in a study case are presented. It is concluded that this proposal can be very useful for those researchers interested in studying the link that there may be between agrifood products and the territory where they are generated, and to define whether they are capable of providing a "territorial rent" to drive economic development in these areas.

“…This socially authorized act adds to the product's symbolic value. The following passage by Bourdieu (2001), for whom the value of branding lies in the rarity of the maker, is particularly telling: "It is by producing the rarity of the producer that the symbolic field of production produces the rarity of the product".…”

Ecolabeling as a Sustainability Strategy for Smallholder Farming? The Emergence of Participatory Certification Systems in Brazil

This article explores the emergence of ecolabeling of organic products in the context of the contemporary debate on global risks related to food production and consumption, focusing in particular on the implications for smallholder farming in Brazil. Independent certification is sustained by technical and bureaucratic mechanisms, sanctioned by international organizations and multilateral agencies whose power structures encourage the production of rules and systems of enforcement. By contrast, local food movements and civil society initiatives point to the emergence of alternative, participatory forms of ecolabeling. These local organizations have come up with new ways of constructing collective quality seals and assurances for products. They have spurred debates on the technologies, power structures and risks associated with corporate agriculture, large-scale pesticide use and chemically grown produce. As an alternative, ecolabeling requires a multi-level articulation of smallholder farming, food cooperatives and farmer markets, in order to create a local certification system for eco-sustainable produce and maintain the sustainability of traditional modes of existence of small farmers. Grounded in a long-term ethnographic study among ecological family farming in the western region of Santa Catarina, Brazil, this paper examines ecolabeling legal frameworks both globally and locally. It highlights the complexity of the eco-labeling process in Brazil, a context where diverse farmers' movements, non-governmental organizations and technical and State political actors grapple with questions relating to the social and economic values of sustainable organic agriculture. The data presented here is based on bibliographical, documental research and analysis of laws, decrees and norms. The study examines the recent historical process involving certification rules and regulations, especially those affecting agriculture. It also surveys the literature on the topic, bringing to light interpretive variations and other cases offering a contrast to Brazil's experience.
