Abstract

In her 2023 Agriculture, Food & Human Values Society (AFHVS) Presidential Address, Jill Clark reflects on the importance of “joy” in academic pursuits to confront the power of the conventional, industrial food system and generate power through our collective work. Clark addresses the various dimensions of power and their role in addressing systemic injustices by turning questions of power back on herself, examining her engaged research in public participation and collaborative governance. She delves into the need for reflexivity, emphasizing the burden of participation and the ethical dilemmas faced when engaging within inherently inequitable systems. The address acknowledges the potential for collectively generating power to change the conversation and normalize diverse perspectives in the food system discourse. It highlights the role of organizations like the AFHVS in providing spaces for interdisciplinary work and proposes boundary-spanning with other food movement organizations. Clark invites scholars and practitioners to join in table-building efforts to promote inclusivity and reflexivity within AFHVS.

AFHVS 2023 主席致辞：产生快乐，对抗并创造力量

吉尔-克拉克（Jill Clark）在她的 2023 年农业、食品与人类价值学会（AFHVS）会长致辞中反思了学术追求中 "快乐 "的重要性，以对抗传统工业化食品体系的力量，并通过我们的集体工作产生力量。克拉克探讨了权力的各个层面及其在解决系统性不公正问题中的作用，她将权力问题反过来问自己，审视了自己在公众参与和合作治理方面的参与性研究。她深入探讨了反思的必要性，强调了参与的负担以及在固有的不公平系统中参与时所面临的道德困境。演讲承认，在粮食系统的讨论中，集体产生力量改变对话并使不同观点正常化是有潜力的。它强调了像美国食品与健康志愿服务协会这样的组织在为跨学科工作提供空间方面的作用，并建议与其他食品运动组织进行跨界合作。克拉克邀请学者和从业人员加入到餐桌建设的努力中来，以促进 AFHVS 内部的包容性和反思性。

期刊介绍： Agriculture and Human Values is the journal of the Agriculture, Food, and Human Values Society. The Journal, like the Society, is dedicated to an open and free discussion of the values that shape and the structures that underlie current and alternative visions of food and agricultural systems. To this end the Journal publishes interdisciplinary research that critically examines the values, relationships, conflicts and contradictions within contemporary agricultural and food systems and that addresses the impact of agricultural and food related institutions, policies, and practices on human populations, the environment, democratic governance, and social equity.
