Abstract

In the context of the Farm-to-Fork strategy towards climate and natural resources neutralization, all players in agri-food value chain actors and stakeholders – citizens, consumers and business – cope with new challenges based on a better understanding of the complex interrelations between public health, ecosystems, value chains, consumption patterns, and planetary boundaries. From a managerial perspective, several dimensions appear crucial. The first one is circularity, i.e. the move from line to circular models which brings opportunities and threats in terms of quality management standards, procurements arrangements and skills for this circular turn. The second dimension is inclusiveness, with the renewed roles of farming systems as part of complete sustainable agri-food chains, with the core topic of social-environmental inclusivity within either existing agri-food companies or business models from scratch. The third dimension is path-dependency for conventional firms, with knowledge, technological and/or organizational lock-in, along with roles for newcomers and startups in this business model transformation, as well as the place and role of innovation ecosystems.The articles of this special issue offer constrasted view of these challenges.

特刊:欧盟从农场到餐桌战略的机遇与挑战

在实现气候和自然资源中和的“从农场到餐桌”战略背景下，农业食品价值链的所有参与者和利益攸关方——公民、消费者和企业——在更好地理解公共卫生、生态系统、价值链、消费模式和地球边界之间复杂的相互关系的基础上，应对新的挑战。从管理的角度来看，有几个方面显得至关重要。第一个是循环，即从直线模式到循环模式的转变，在质量管理标准、采购安排和技能方面为这种循环转变带来了机遇和威胁。第二个维度是包容性，农业系统作为完整的可持续农业食品链的一部分重新发挥作用，其核心主题是在现有农业食品公司或从零开始的商业模式中实现社会环境包容性。第三个维度是传统企业的路径依赖，具有知识、技术和/或组织锁定，以及新来者和初创企业在这种商业模式转型中的角色，以及创新生态系统的位置和角色。本期特刊的文章对这些挑战提出了不同的看法。
