Project description:
An investigation into the contribution of organised civil society in the UK towards Sustainability transitions in the sociotechnical trajectories of food production and consumption. Specifically, the study aims to unpack the various roles that civil society actors play in these transitions. Key research questions relate to the conditions under which (and processes by which) civil society actors envision and represent the future of food systems and their relationships to them, and how the realisation of these visions and representations is materially empowered or constrained.
