摘要

对食物浪费的研究表明,其主要原因是农业食物链第一阶段的技术和物流不足。本文以莱里达(西班牙加泰罗尼亚)的水果生产为出发点,讨论了这一说法。自20世纪80年代以来,该地区的水果生产经历了一个创新和发展的过程。然而,参与该行业的代理商声称,食用食品的浪费量比以前更大。本文认为,对食物浪费的研究没有考虑农业食物链中存在的权力关系。当这些关系不对称时,技术创新和物流优化并不能提高系统的效率;相反,它们帮助霸权参与者垄断商业利润,并将部分运营成本转移给较弱的代理商。该研究的人种学数据是在2017年至2019年间使用定性研究技术获得的。

Food Waste and Power Relations in the Agri-Food Chain. The Fruit Sector in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain).

Food Waste and Power Relations in the Agri-Food Chain. The Fruit Sector in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain).

Studies of food waste claim that its main causes are technological and logistical deficiencies in the first stages of the agri-food chain. The present article discusses this statement using a specific case as a starting point: the production of fruit in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain). Since the 1980s, fruit production in this region has undergone a process of innovation and development. However, the agents who participate in the sector claim that the wasted volume of edible foodstuffs is greater than in previous times. This article argues that studies of food waste do not consider the power relations existing within the agri-food chain. When these relations are asymmetrical, technological innovation and logistics optimisation do not improve the efficiency of the system; rather, they help the hegemonic players to monopolise the commercial margin and transfer some of their running costs to the weaker agents. The ethnographic data for the study were obtained between 2017 and 2019 using qualitative research techniques.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics welcomes articles on ethical issues confronting agriculture, food production and environmental concerns. The goal of this journal is to create a forum for discussion of moral issues arising from actual or projected social policies in regard to a wide range of questions. Among these are ethical questions concerning the responsibilities of agricultural producers, the assessment of technological changes affecting farm populations, the utilization of farmland and other resources, the deployment of intensive agriculture, the modification of ecosystems, animal welfare, the professional responsibilities of agrologists, veterinarians, or food scientists, the use of biotechnology, the safety, availability, and affordability of food.
