WG31 BENEFITS, CHALLENGES, SOCIAL LEARNING ANDCONTROVERSIES AROUND LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS
Convenors:
Gusztáv Nemes PhD, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, [log in to unmask];

Objectives: Our WG touches upon three mainelements among the themes of the conference:
(1) innovation, (2) social justice and (3) knowledge production.
Innovative local food systems and alternativefood networks, approached from a collaborative and participatory angle, bring about acultural shift by associating prosumers through a renewed form of trust,reciprocity and community, thus reinforcing social and ecological justice. Atthe same time, such heterodox actors in the transition to more sustainable foodsystems create new forms of knowledge, that are contested, co-constructed andpotentially conflictual – along with enabling or disabling policymaking and,often, in dialogue with research.
Our main objective is in this topicto start the process of creating an edited special issue of apeer reviewed journal (Sociologia Ruralis, Studies of Agricultural Economics orsimilar) should raise from this WG. We invite researchers working in the areaof (local) food systems, alternative food networks, short food supply chainsand related topics (rural tourism, community supported agriculture, etc.). Weconsider both the benefits and possible conflicts/problems in the connectedsocio-economic, cultural and environmental processes and welcome theoreticalpapers and case studies, too.
After 6-7 short presentations, we plana facilitated workshop that will lay out the approach and themost important questions of the planned special issue. For this, beyondthe presenters, we invite and welcome all interested audience.
Topic: Different understandings anddynamics happening within and around different types of Local Food Systems(LFS). Alternative food networks, local food systems and short food supplychains have long been viewed as a sustainable, green way of raising the valueadded and creating opportunities for sur/re-vival of rural economy and society.They induce many benefits in terms of environmental impact, culturalexemplification, ethical entrepreneurship, social justice or rural development.
Some of the questions to which we hope to findsome answers:
- How are dynamics of “knowing and growing food in a contested arena” (Goodman, DuPuis, Goodman, 2014) negotiated – sometimes in a mutually enhancing and locally beneficial way, sometimes in more conflictual ways?
- What are the local and extra-local stakeholders’ (producers, intermediaries, customers, tourists) different and often conflicting interests and responsibilities in LFS?
- What can we learn from the tensions and local problems of LFS in order to support relevant policies to solve current controversies within the sector?
- How can rural sociologists use their knowledge and influence to support local rural stakeholders of LFS?
