Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • The governance of agricultural transitions: A mapping towards sustainable food systems   Order a copy of this article
    by Amanda Ferreira Guimarães, Marie Dervillé 
    Abstract: Food system sustainability requires shifting from industrial food chains towards greater diversity, inclusiveness, and environmentally friendly practices. Although localized innovations have emerged worldwide, their scope remains limited. How to scale sustainable practices remains unknown. The literature shows that such transitions require more than public policies to trigger effective changes in practices and social relations. We address this gap through interdisciplinary scientometric data analysis from 2007-2023. By combining bibliometric and semantic analyses with an in-depth reading of the literature, we map the scientific field studying the governance of agricultural transitions. We show that it is a recent research field, with accelerated growth from 2017 onwards. We distinguish two periods and find that agricultural transitions require dedicated public policies and an interplay between adaptive technical and organisational collective initiatives. The governance of agricultural transitions requires a systemic, multiscalar, and interdisciplinary approach in which territorialized processes are crucial for articulating coherent alternatives.
