Abstract

In the literature on innovation and organizational learning, there is a wide consensus about the relevance of learning activities. Specifically, they occur both individually (as producers will increase their knowledge simply “by doing”) and collectively (as producers and other stakeholders involved will learn “by interacting”). Therefore, in these studies, the focus on informal learning has become increasingly evident with recognition that informal learning predominates in smaller and locally-operating firms, and large corporations alike. The aim of the study is twofold; firstly to understand the link between formal networks and informal learning and secondly to investigate if the information exchanged in the network between firms and institutions is altered by content. Through a case study in Foggia, southern Italy, we have investigated how knowledge flows among small organic food firms and related supporting institutions. The core finding of the study was that the existence of networks is necessary to promote informal knowledge flows, yet not sufficient by itself. In conclusion, several obstacles had to be removed before producers gained from the positive effects of geographical clustering and proximity.

Abstract

Different framings of food may shape food policies and their impact. Despite acknowledging food systems’ complexities, the European Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy still addresses food as a commodity instead of a human right or common good. A report from the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA) to the European Commission recently concluded that the path to a more sustainable food system requires “moving from food as a commodity to food as [more of] a common good”1. This implies the need for deep reforms in food policy that touch upon every part of the food system. The GCSA’s advice was informed by an Evidence Review Report (ERR)2 that was conducted independently to ensure academic rigour and prevent claims of political bias.

Abstract

The EU food system faces a number of fundamental challenges that require system-wide change. Environmental, health and socio-economic issues are interconnected and do not exist in separate silos. Strong leadership is required to integrate actors across all parts of the food system, highlighting the need for better-coordinated governance. Coordination and adaptability are vital, including support and guidance for bottom-up activities, necessitating polycentric and adaptive governance.Accepting collective responsibility is paramount, as it is unlikely that any single actor can achieve even modest steps towards sustainability, while local policy action has the power to provide potential seeds of transformative change.Providing information is unlikely to create change unless combined with ‘harder’ measures such as taxation and legislation.Agricultural contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and food waste are fundamental concerns that need to be addressed; animal products, particularly red meat, use unsustainable levels of input at the current level of production. Excessive meat consumption is also having a negative impact on public health. Alignment of environmental (food, energy and water) and health goals is therefore required across all sectors.Meeting the global demand for food in 2050 will require significant dietary change as well as large reductions in food waste, as technology or yield increases are unlikely to meet demand alone. Evidence of ‘what works’ requires strengthening, including further research on the public understanding of science and consumer acceptance of new technologies.
