However, little is known about how health and welfare practices are shaped by the diversity of relationships that characterise UK backyard birdkeeping. We use this moment of change to (1) examine the relationships between backyard keepers, their birds, and the poultry industry, and, (2) explore how registration legislation is responded to by backyard keepers. We use a netnographic approach, investigating activity on four public Facebook pages, and draw on the ‘animal turn’ in geography to guide interpretation of the findings. Most keepers valued their birds as companions, and as embodying aesthetic qualities. A minority of keepers kept birds for food production. Keepers of companion birds were more concerned about registration and the potential for birds to be classified as farmed animals than those who valued birds for their (re)productive roles. Social media acted as a tool to build relationships with other keepers and share health and welfare advice. The lack of consensus around birds’ roles contributed to the diverse reactions to registration and distrust in public authorities was implicated in low uptake of flock registration. Our findings suggest that registration legislation does not fully consider the diversity of backyard keepers’ relationships with their birds, each other, and the poultry industry. We suggest that for registration to be widely accepted more needs to be done to acknowledge different ways of living with birds.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7683,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Human Values","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10460-026-10959-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148926470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For some producers, alternative practices such as regenerative agriculture offer opportunities to meet environmental, economic, and social goals. Often, studies following these producers focus on the period of practice adoption, which limits our understanding of landscape-human relationships in these systems to an early and unsettled stage. In this study, we revisit Australian livestock producers and landscapes fifteen years after initial interviews to observe longitudinal relational “co-becomings.” We use arts-based methods of photo-based interviews, repeat photography, and poetic analysis using I-Poems to capture these co-becomings through the eyes and words of the participants. Our findings demonstrate patterns of long-term strengthening of relational trust and healing between grazier and landscape, which we present in paired photography and poetry. These graziers’ stories provide insight into the relationships between graziers and landscapes in the years post-adoption, challenging linear and short-term narratives of practice persistence in the alternative agriculture space. The findings extend our understanding of grazier experiences with regenerative practices beyond the initial transition period. Through our innovative use of arts-based methods, we also explore new ways of knowing and communicating the human-landscape experience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7683,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Human Values","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10460-026-10957-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148926367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we propose an approach to specify these interactions, while outlining the agronomic analytical frameworks that currently do not fully capture the multitude of different human/nonhuman interaction modalities. We also present an analytical grounding for the different ways of approaching non-human agency. Finally, our combined agronomy-anthropology approach offers four possible interaction stances between humans and nonhumans: <i>doing</i>, <i>getting something done</i>, <i>doing with</i> and <i>letting do</i>, and here we address the following question: what does each stance technically and ontologically entail?

Fairtrade certification seeks to mitigate these problems through labour protections, environmental safeguards, and mechanisms for formalisation. However, in the floriculture sector the scheme provides no standard for smallholder producers, who constitute a significant share of production in the Ecuadorian highlands. Drawing on fieldwork in the Sierra region, including visits to certified and non-certified farms and interviews with managers, workers, and smallholders, this study shows that the initiative has delivered notable improvements in labour conditions, occupational safety, and traceability on large plantations able to comply with hired-labour requirements. Yet these gains coexist with exclusions. The absence of a framework tailored to small-scale producers, combined with limited attention to royalty arrangements that disproportionately burden smaller farms, prevents many growers from accessing certification despite facing similar labour, environmental, and market risks. As a result, the standard reinforces an uneven governance landscape in which benefits accrue primarily to larger, better-capitalised enterprises. The findings highlight the limited capacity of Fairtrade certification to address sectoral inequalities in the flower sector and suggest the need for stronger coordination between private standards and national regulation to overcome the structural barriers constraining smallholder participation in global floriculture value chains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7683,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Human Values","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10460-026-10943-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148926467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study shows that all businesses tended to lose revenue that year when compared to a typical year. But those that were owned by minorities, and particularly minorities with no more than secondary education, were significantly more likely to experience <i>smaller losses</i> of revenue, all else being equal. There is no evidence of race/ethnicity and education effects in whether businesses received financial assistance, but there is clear evidence that women-owned businesses sought to apply for financial assistance significantly less in the first place. To account for these results, we discuss hypotheses of ethnic enclave effects, gender and entrepreneurship, and distinction between skills and credentials in discussion of levels of education.

This study provides such an on-the-ground perspective, employing ethnographic methods to explore food governance implementation efforts by public and private actors and food practitioners in a case study in Sweden. The study draws on the conceptual lens of resilience to explore these efforts, placing focus on the way 1) food practitioners enact resilience capacities while filtering (i.e. persisting with, adapting, transforming) their practices during governance change processes, and 2) public and private actors govern for resilience by facilitating practitioner capacities to work with change. Insights drawn from the study illustrate the value of bringing together theory and concepts from social-ecological resilience and a practice perspective to study change for integrated food system governance. In particular, a focus on capacities for resilience enacted in practice highlights the importance of paying attention to interacting social, ecological and material conditions in considering potential pathways for food system governance implementation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7683,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Human Values","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10460-026-10938-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148782843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It additionally highlights that despite a limited number of studies available on the how food citizenship is being empirically captured, it cannot be measured through attitudes/values alone and exclude behaviours or vice-versa – each reinforces the other.
