近年来，欧洲联盟在其共同农业政策中对多功能原则的明确承诺，促进了对恢复和保护与当地农产品有关的遗产和传统的兴趣的复苏。尽管，或者可能是因为，基于遗产的倡议在政治和经济上日益突出，然而，我们认为，质疑遗产和传统概念背后的意义和假设是很重要的。在本文中，我们使用法国和波兰的案例研究来探讨与基于遗产的粮食系统相关的潜在矛盾。面对全球农业粮食系统的同质化趋势，质量倡议为维持农村生计创造了必要的空间，特别是在传统农业在经济上被边缘化的地区，但它们也有可能破坏当地的特殊性，并以牺牲当地社区为代价，使强大的地方外行为者获得特权。我们特别关注，在实践中，这些举措如何(1)减少可用产品的多样性，(2)创造静态的文化概念，(3)从根本上改变或扭曲产品的特征，促进从本地到外地市场的转变。我们的分析表明，对基于遗产的倡议的脆弱性进行更仔细的调查是有必要的，特别是考虑到当地环境的不同性质。仅仅编纂文化产品而不考虑社会组织背景的倡议有可能成为“生产博物馆”。(C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有，
In recent years, the European Union's stated commitment to the principle of multifunctionality within its Common Agricultural Policy has fostered a resurgence of interest in recovering and protecting the heritage and traditions associated with local agricultural products. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the growing political and economic salience of heritage-based initiatives, however, we argue that it is important to interrogate the meanings and assumptions that underlie notions of heritage and tradition. In this paper, we use case study research from France and Poland to explore the potential contradictions associated with heritage-based food systems. While quality initiatives create essential spaces for maintaining rural livelihoods in the face of the homogenizing trends in the global agro-food system, particularly for regions where traditional agriculture has been economically marginalized, they also have the potential to undermine local specificity and privilege powerful extralocal actors at the expense of local communities. We pay particular attention to how, in practice, these initiatives may (1) reduce the diversity of available products, (2) create static notions of culture and (3) fundamentally change or distort the character of products in promoting the shift from local to extralocal markets. Our analysis suggests that a more careful investigation of heritage-based initiatives' vulnerabilities is warranted, particularly with respect to the varied nature of local contexts. Initiatives that merely codify cultural products without taking the social-organizational context into account risk becoming little more than "museums of production." (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
