合作的工作方式可以理解为以人为本的方式。本文探讨了合作工作方式如何有可能通过以人为本的变革,在威尔士背景下支持可持续和公正的粮食系统的扩展。根据对威尔士境内可持续和合作食品部门的利益相关者的一系列访谈以及国际案例研究,考虑了可持续和公正食品系统规模扩大所面临的机遇和挑战。研究结果表明,合作和基于社区的方法在健康食品的可持续生产、加工、分销和贸易方面具有潜力,这些方法是负担得起的、文化上适宜的,并且基于正义的道德和对土地、工人和动物的关爱。社区支持的农业、孵化农场、食品中心和平台合作社被认为是可持续和公正的粮食系统的关键机制。通过教育、信息和培训进行能力建设是合作和以人为本的工作方式的进一步重要基础。为了加速可持续和公正的粮食未来,基于社区的参与、培训网络、资源和土地的获取以及包括立法变革在内的变革性治理形式是关键。最后,我们强调了对政策转移和粮食系统转型未来研究的影响。
Co-operative ways of working can be understood as people-centred approaches. This article considers how co-operative ways of working have the potential to support the scaling-out of sustainable and just food systems in the context of Wales through people-centred change. Drawing upon a series of interviews with stakeholders involved in the sustainable and the co-operative food sector within Wales and international case studies, opportunities and challenges facing the scaling-out of sustainable and just food systems are considered. Findings demonstrate the potential of co-operative and community-based approaches to sustainable production, processing, distribution, and trading of healthy food that is affordable, culturally appropriate, and based upon an ethic of justice and care for land, workers, and animals. Community supported agriculture, incubator farms, food hubs, and platform co-operatives are identified as key mechanisms for sustainable and just food systems. Capacity building through education, information, and training are further critical foundations for co-operative and people-centred ways of working. In order to accelerate sustainable and just food futures, community-based participation, networks for training, access to resources and land, and transformative forms of governance, including legislative change, are key. We conclude by highlighting implications for future research into policy transfer and food system transformation.
