“…Theoretically, the study contributes to the extant literature on SE by presenting and highlighting the four systems associated with it and proposing the categorisation based on socio-technological theory. The current study expands understanding on SE where social issues are discussed such as waste reduction (food wastage), social responsibilities, sustainability and environmental issues [Harvey et al, 2019;Mazzucchelli et al, 2020;Minami, Ramos, Bortoluzzo, 2021]. The contribution of this study extends into the field of socio-technology where until now its application was very much limited to social engineering.…”

Sharing economy is a system which functions successfully provided that technological and social subsystems complement each other forming an indivisibly combined cohesive structure. The premise of balancing social and technological aspects is proposed in the socio-technological theory. Social issues call for social innovation to fulfil the needs and requirements of the society as well as individual citizens. The goal of this paper is to fill the gap in the extant literature by proposing a comprehensive framework of sharing economy based on the socio-technological theory. This study carried out a systematic literature review of works on sharing economy and socio-technological theory in order to develop a conceptual framework. There were identified different social motives associated with each of the subsystems; interplay between them was established. This study contributes to the increasing research by presenting a holistic view of sharing economy through the theoretical lens of socio-technology keeping society as well as consumer needs and requirements at its focal point.

“…There are specific platforms for agriculture and food, and they can be divided into five major categories: i) new marketplaces; ii) Trade and sharing; iii) Professionals and private individuals; iv) Crowdfunding; and v) Peer-to-peer: private individuals. Mazzucchelli et al (2021) analyzed the key factors, impacts and the connections between drivers of the success of sharing food platforms using multiple regression and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. The results reveal the fundamental and interconnected roles of consumer familiarity, perception of environmental and social responsibility, and community social support, in enhancing consumer behavioral response.…”

There is limited and segmented access to information regarding the diversity of responsible and sustainable agrifood products in Brazil. There is a growing need to bridge the communication gap between farmers and consumers who wish to consume such differentiated products. This article aims to present the conceptual bases for the development of a Brazilian Digital Platform for Food and Territories involved bibliographic research methodology, analysis of international platforms and technicalscientific discussions between Brazilian and French research groups. The main result obtained was the modeling of the digital platform based on a multiscale view associated with the confluence of six conceptual aspects: Territories, Localized Food Systems, Brazilian Regional Foods, Adding Value, Consumer Empowerment, Technological and Knowledge Convergence. The results contribute to the physical development of the Platform, with literature and insights on digital innovations in agrifood for researchers, developers, public and private managers, creating new development opportunities for Brazilian rural territories.

“…At the consumer level, the most important SI reuse practice is surely represented by food-sharing. This term does not refer to the general human tendency to eat together and share food, which has been studied by anthropologists as a distinguishing feature with a unique complexity [81]; rather, it refers to a particular implementation of the sharing economy that allows people to connect, interact, and exchange food, usually through the use of ICT [82][83][84][85][86]. Michelini et al, 2017, provide a taxonomy of food sharing models differentiated on the basis of a number of variables (organization profile, type of technology, delivery model, type of donor, type of beneficiary, type of transaction, social impact, management feature).…”

A Hierarchical Pyramid for Food Waste Based on a Social Innovation Perspective

Food waste (FW) represents one of the greatest concerns facing mankind today; thus, the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development establishes that it must be halved by 2030. European Union legislators have taken part in this debate by publishing Directive 2018/851 to monitor the FW reduction goals, according to the waste hierarchical pyramid approach. At present, there are several proposed FW hierarchical pyramids, but these do not regard the associations between the level of waste-tackling strategies and social innovation (SI) models. Thus, the paper aims to build a hierarchical pyramid that considers, for each step of the food-supply chain and each level of the pyramid, all the FW social innovation models. A qualitative analysis of academic studies, institutional documents, and specific projects has been conducted. The results confirm the gap in the scientific literature and the lack of a systematic classification of SI activities to reduce FW. Furthermore, current SI practices are actually more focused on the human reuse of FW than on prevention, whereas SI models based on prevention might return the FWL issue to its systematic dimension. This information will help policymakers to reconsider the structural causes of FW inside the agro-food system, and not only its final consequences.
