CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue: The Social Sustainability of Food Systems: Addressing the Inequality-Unsustainability Nexus
This special issue will build our understanding of the inequality-unsustainability nexus and will help to reconceptualise ‘social sustainability’ in the food sector as a lens and method to address this nexus. We expect contributions addressing one – or more – of the following issues:
Political-economic dynamics and mechanisms underpinning the food-system’s inequality-unsustainability nexus
The collective re-organisation of food practices towards sustainability in ways that address entrenched inequalities
Modes of collective and public support, regulations, and social protection that ensure the durability of sustainability transitions and transformations of food systems and practices over the medium and long-term, in particular through attention to social inequality.
We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions at various levels, encompassing the broader food and agri-food system, subsystems, or specific transition/transformation interventions. In particular, we invite submissions that engage with and discuss the inequality-unsustainability nexus by reconceptualising social sustainability as a lens and a method (see full Call for Papers).
DEADLINE : June 30th 2024.
