“…One important aspect of any comprehensive policy design aiming to endorse adaptive capacity is to identify vulnerabilities of the socio-environmental or socio-spatial system. Basically, in addition to managing adequately ecological concerns, this implies envisioning the overall socio-spatial transition through innovations and new practices simultaneously reducing social vulnerability with means that will preferably reduce social inequalities rather than cause further social polarizations within the community (see also Kortetmäki and Huttunen, 2022). From the perspective of cultural sustainability adaptive transformations should, hence, be fair e.g., with regards to the distributive impacts of the transition on tangible cultural assets of the local people.…”

“…Furthermore, it is argued that social differentiation and experienced injustice can inhibit the capacity of building "autonomous adaptation" among ethnic groups or other social minorities. Moreover, when space or place is also enclosed in the descriptions assessing vulnerability, one may distinguish social structures and entities where power relations in the community level should also be considered (see Kortetmäki and Huttunen, 2022). Basically, in these circumstances the idea of sustainable development in recognized local communities would imply an attempt to pursue an inclusive process within the course of local development where even social minorities can contribute to the social change based on their own cultural capabilities (see also Birkeland, 2008;Kong, 2009).…”

“…In search of endorsing cultural sustainability and adaptive capacity this idea can be promoted in any community level transformation process through endorsing widely social inclusion. Consequently, there should be a role for very varied actors in the community to orchestrate transformations toward a sustainable community aiming at high capacity of socio-cultural sustainability, adaptive capacity and risk management (see also Kortetmäki and Huttunen, 2022).…”

Cultural sustainability relates to sustainable development. According to UNESCO “culture provides the necessary transformative dimension that ensures the sustainability of development processes.” Originally sustainable development was defined through three dimensions-ecological, economic and social dimension. Further, the social dimension has been understood in multiple ways often accentuating socio-economic assets of development rather than socio-cultural capacities. Eventually, there has been an increasing interest in defining cultural sustainability as a fourth pillar of sustainable development. While becoming aware of the contemporary supranational risks such as climate change, COVID 19-pandemia or escalating military conflicts, sustainable development can hardly be envisioned in terms of linear progress but rather considered with anticipation of eventual shocks, interruptions, and vulnerabilities related to development. In this perspective, cultural sustainability can be increasingly associated with identifying vulnerabilities and with envisioning attainable measures of adaptation. This article addresses the complex issue of defining cultural sustainability through lenses of social resilience and adaptive capacity at local level.

“…However, the scientific field of sustainability transition -including within food systems (El Bilali 2019a; Stahlbrand, 2016) -has been criticized for its lack of actor-based sensitive analysis and oversimplified conceptualizations of agency (Huttunen et al, 2021;Rauschmayer et al, 2015;Smith et al, 2010). Thus, further conceptual development is needed to examine agency in transitions that enable a more systematic plural inclusion of varying values, identities, motivations and purposes of agents (Huttunen et al, 2021) and specify relevant functions of different actors and role categories (Kortetmäki & Huttunen, 2022).…”

Si éxitosa, quiénes lean esta tesis debiesen comprender que uno de sus mensajes es que ningún actor por si sólo puede realizar acciones que puedan transformar los sistemas alimentarios. Obviamente, esta tesis no es la excepción. Por eso, debo agradecer a las múltiples personas que hicieron este trabajo posible.Primero y sobretodo, quiero decir sobretodo, agradezco a mis supervisores Jessica Duncan, Katharine Legun y Laurens Klerkx. Gracias por su apoyo constante e incondicional, alentarme en los momentos más difíciles y de mayor desmotivación (que fueron muchos), sus excelentes contribuciones e ideas que aportaron al desarrollo y la calidad de esta tesis. También, por su supervisión profundamente humana. No pude haber sido más afortunada con un equipo de supervisión excepcional.Segundo, estoy en deuda con todas las personas y organizaciones que aportaron con una entrevista. Muy especialmente, gracias el CET BioBio por recibirme y alimentarme en su centro demostrativo en Yumbel y compartir su valiosa experiencia conmigo. También, por presentarme a unas de las guardadoras de semillas más inspiradoras que he conocido:

Easier said than defined? Conceptualising justice in food system transitions

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The transition towards sustainable and just food systems is ongoing, illustrated by an increasing number of initiatives that try to address unsustainable practices and social injustices. Insights are needed into what a just transition entails in order to critically engage with plural and potentially conflicting justice conceptualisations. Researchers play an active role in food system transitions, but it is unclear which conceptualisations and principles of justice they enact when writing about food system initiatives. To fill this gap this paper investigates: Which conceptualisations of justice emerge from the literature related to food system initiatives and which principles of justice do authors use? We developed an initial framework for which we drew on political philosophy literature. We then undertook an extensive review of the food system transitions literature using this framework and were able to identify a range of recognition, distributive, and procedural justice conceptualisations and associated principles of justice. Recognised as subjects of justice were those with a particular role in the food system, people who are marginalised, Indigenous communities, those with experiences of negative consequences of the food system, future generations, and nonhumans. The identified conceptualisations and the developed framework can be used by those involved in food system initiatives to reflect on how they conceptualise justice. We challenge them to be more explicit about who they do and do not recognise as subjects of justice and which principles of justice they use. Such clarity is needed to reflexively enact a just transition towards sustainable and just food systems.
