In recent decades, the governance of the environment in agri-food
systems has emerged as a crucial challenge. A multiplicity of
actors have been enrolled in this process, with the private sector
and civil society progressively becoming key components in a global
context often described as neoliberalization. Agri-environmental
governance (AEG) thus gathers a highly complex assemblage of actors
and instruments, with multiple interrelations. This book addresses
this complexity, challenging traditional modes of research and
explanation in social science and agri-food studies. To do so, it
draws on multiple theoretical and methodological insights, applied
to case studies from Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It
elaborates an emergent approach to AEG practices as assemblages,
looking at the coming-together of multiple actors with diverse
trajectories and objectives. The book lays the foundations for an
encompassing theoretical framework that transcends pre-existing
categories, as well as promoting innovative methodologies, which
integrate the role of social actors - including scientists - in the
construction of new assemblages. The chapters define, first, the
multiplicities and agencies inherent to AEG assemblages. A second
set tackles the question of the politics in AEG assemblages, where
political hierarchies interweave with economic power and the search
for more democratic and participative approaches. Finally, these
insights are developed in the form of assemblage practice and
methodology. The book challenges social scientists to confront the
shortcomings of existing approaches and consider alternative
answers to questions about environmental governance of agri-food
systems.
