14. Contested definitions of digital agri-food system transformation: A webpage and network analysis

Abstract

This article explores how digital agri-food system transformations are framed and by whom. To answer these questions, we searched for webpages linked to Twitter and by Google that describe the role of emerging digital technologies in agri-food systems. From these, we characterize three framings of transformation. The first framing proposes that digital tools make farms optimally productive. A second framing emphasizes inequities in access to digital tools and increased farmer participation in tech development. A third framing highlights how technology creates more traceable agri-food systems. We then conducted a social network analysis of webpage authors, finding three network clusters. The largest centres on intergovernmental and international development organizations that typically promote the first and third framings. The second framing is mostly promoted by academic and civil society actors and was least common across webpages, suggesting that digital agriculture trajectories may overlook farmer autonomy and agency. Framings vary in the degree of transformation they promote and their consideration of smaller-scale farms’ needs. We suggest that digital agri-food system transformation efforts are more diverse than typically described in the literature. We recommend public and private actors work with academics and civil society organizations to enhance farmer inclusion in designing novel transformative approaches.

15. Sustainable Food Systems Transformation, from Critique to Practice: Describing and designing food futures

Abstract

At the center of debates regarding food system transformation are socio-technical innovations involving novel foods and novel ways to produce food. In this thesis, I examine digital agriculture technologies such as e-commerce platforms, and alternative proteins such as cellular agriculture as two agri-food innovations with much promise to fundamentally transform the way we produce, process, distribute, and consume food across scales. I contribute to sustainability transformation literature and practice by undertaking empirically informed critiques of agri-food innovations, developing a more nuanced characterization for their potential promise, and advancing community-based research to scrutinize their impacts on-the-ground. My thesis begins by examining the sustainability-related tradeoffs of entomophagy and cellular agriculture. I found that alternative proteins have substantial potential to positively impact the global food system across multiple dimensions, such as food price stability and environmental sustainability; however, technical barriers to scale and high potential cost may dampen their impact. In my later chapters I assess the framings of and potential futures for agri-food innovation. I found three distinct framings for how digital agriculture technologies are transforming food systems, and a lack of civil society participation within these discussions. In addition, I found that access, integration, and centralization are key dimensions across which cellular agriculture can be assessed in terms of its promise to transform food systems. In my final phase of research, I partnered with an e-commerce platform to survey local food system stakeholders in Ontario to better understand their digital technology needs. I found that stakeholders are keen to use digital tools, but political economic barriers across the digital platform sector prevent their widespread benefits from being realized. This thesis advances sustainability transformation scholarship by explicitly considering its normative dimensions: transformation of what? For what purpose? By whom? Crucially, the myriad ways in which agri-food innovations are governed can result in diverse forms of change, following less or more business-as-usual processes. Hybridized governance processes and increased public and civil society participation are crucial to achieve sustainable food system transformations. Future scholarship that advances actionable research projects with civil society and public stakeholders can open space for imagined, desired, and possible futures.

19. Student Food Insecurity Campus Readiness Assessment: An Analysis of Campus Responses to Student Food Security Across Canadian Universities

Abstract

The Student Food Insecurity Campus Readiness Assessment supports emerging efforts to galvanize Canadian campus communities to take action in addressing student food insecurity (SFI). The readiness assessment analyzes existing responses to student food insecurity on individual campuses, and provides insights into how the sector as a whole is responding to SFI. It was completed as part of “Promoting Food Security in Higher Education,” a collaboration between Meal Exchange and staff and faculty at the University of British Columbia, the University of Guelph, McMaster University and the University of Ottawa. This collaboration is a reflection of their own efforts to address student food insecurity and also a response to broader attention the issue has received in recent years, including the growing volume of research, news articles and the formation of a number of campus food security committees.

22. A systems approach to navigating food security during COVID-19: Gaps, opportunities, and policy supports.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a series of concatenating problems in the global production and distribution of food. Trade barriers, seasonal labor shortages, food loss and waste, and food safety concerns combine to engender vulnerabilities in food systems. A variety of actors--from academics to policy-makers, community organizers, farmers, and homesteaders--are considering the undertaking of creating more resilient food systems. Conventional approaches include fine-tuning existing value chains, consolidating national food distribution systems and bolstering inventory and storage. This paper highlights three alternative strategies for securing a more resilient food system, namely: (i.) leveraging underutilized, often urban, spaces for food production; (ii.) rethinking food waste as a resource; and (iii.) constructing production- distribution-waste networks, as opposed to chains. Various food systems actors have pursued these strategies for decades. Yet, we argue that the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to urgently consider such novel assemblages of actors, institutions, and technologies as key levers in achieving longer term food system resilience. These strategies are often centered around principles of redistribution and reciprocity, and focus on smaller scales, from individual households to communities. We highlight examples that have emerged in the spring-summer of 2020 of household and community efforts to reconstruct a more resilient food system. We also undertake a policy analysis to sketch how government supports can facilitate the emergence of these efforts and mobilization beyond the immediate confines of the pandemic.
