1. Allowing for the Projective Dimension of Agency in Analysing Alternative Food Networks

Author:
Le Velly, Ronan

Subject:
food supply chain,   etc   ; humans; research; theoretical models;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... This article argues for including the projective dimension of agency in research into alternative food networks. Starting from a review of the literature, I show that referring to the notion of project is useful to answer the questions raised by the use of the term “alternative” and to reinforce analyses of hybridisation and conventionalisation processes. I argue that alternative food networks are ...

Abstract:
... This article serves as an introduction to a Virtual Special Issue of Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology (CBP) focused on aquaculture. CBP has not traditionally had a focus on aquaculture, and the Editors sought to use this Special Issue to identify opportunities for synergy between traditional comparative physiology and applied physiology, such as aquaculture. Each of the four CBP journals ha ...

Abstract:
... Traceability systems are perceived as a powerful solution to cope with food safety issues. It is important to improve the traceability for food supply chains to address potential food safety events. This paper studies the sourcing decisions in a food supply chain, in which the buyer is exposed to potential food safety events due to supplier responsibility. It is shown that the buyer may fail to so ...

Abstract:
... Construction of plausible scenarios for alternative futures of global food systems requires an understanding of how the past led to the present, and the past's likely relevance to the future. Policy actions affected the past, but are very difficult to foresee.

Abstract:
... We present a conceptual framework depicting the issues and strategies of a firm with an innovation (in product or technology or system). To “implement” the innovation in terms of procurement of feedstock (intermediate inputs), production and processing, and marketing, the innovating firm undertakes strategic design of its supply chain. It must decide how much to produce, what segments of the suppl ...

While a number of works question the alterity of alternative food chains, little has been said about the social processes under which new economic models are, or may be, developed within the broader movement around ‘short food supply chains’ (SFCs) in Europe. Considering SFCs as economic organisations, we propose an analytical framework based on New Economic Sociology and Convention Theory, enrich ...

Abstract:
... Phosphorus (P) is a limited natural resource and essential for global food supply, particularly given our ever-growing world population. However, natural P deposits are restricted to just a few countries and the quality of exploited primary sources is declining. Phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge or sewage sludge ash leached by acids is hence gaining importance. During P recovery the removal o ...
