Abstract

Successful transitions to agroecology require shared understanding of the sustainability implications of transitions for food systems. To gain such understanding, a transdisciplinary approach is increasingly called for by funders, end users of research and scientists. Transdisciplinary processes were used in the UNISECO project to develop strategic pathways that enable transitions to agroecology in case studies across Europe. These strategic pathways were combined with scenarios of EU food systems in 2050, in which combinations of agroecological farming and food consumption practices were assessed. These were then reviewed considering selected UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a reference for discussing the sustainability implications of transitions to agroecology. Sustainability implications were identified for several SDGs including Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Quality Education (SDG 4), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), Climate Action (SDG 13) and Life on Land (SDG 15). Key factors contributing to the sustainability of transitions to agroecology are: i) mature social capital and improved farmer knowledge of the benefits of agroecological practices; ii) strengthened collaborative actions and collective institutions to increase negotiating power within the value-chain; and, iii) changes in consumer behaviour and diets. These factors highlight the need for a food system perspective in transitions to agroecology and supporting policies. This in turn highlights the meaningful role of transdisciplinary research in strengthening the sustainability of European food systems.

探索向农业生态学过渡的可持续性影响:跨学科视角
向农业生态学的成功过渡需要对粮食系统过渡的可持续性影响有共同的理解。为了获得这样的理解,资助者、研究的最终用户和科学家越来越需要跨学科的方法。UNISECO项目采用了跨学科过程,以制定战略途径,使整个欧洲的案例研究能够过渡到农业生态学。这些战略途径与2050年欧盟粮食系统的情景相结合,其中评估了农业生态农业和粮食消费实践的组合。然后对这些目标进行了审查,将选定的联合国可持续发展目标作为讨论向农业生态学过渡的可持续性影响的参考。确定了几个可持续发展目标的可持续性影响,包括零饥饿(SDG 2)、优质教育(SDG 4)、负责任的消费和生产(SDG 12)、气候行动(SDG 13)和陆地生活(SDG 15)。有助于向农业生态学过渡的可持续性的关键因素是:一成熟的社会资本和农民对农业生态学实践的好处的了解;ii)加强合作行动和集体机构,以提高价值链内的谈判能力;三消费者行为和饮食的变化。这些因素突出表明,在向农业生态学和支持政策过渡时,需要从粮食系统的角度看待问题。这反过来又突出了跨学科研究在加强欧洲粮食系统可持续性方面的重要作用。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
