“…Governance involves the system of rules, institutions, and authority that collectively coordinate and manage society, including the political, organizational, and administrative institutions, rules, and processes used by stakeholders (state and non-state actors) to articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, make decisions, mediate differences, and meet their obligations [18][19][20][21][22].…”

Effective governance is essential to transform food systems and achieve the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Different political ideologies and paradigms inhibit or drive social change movements. This study examined how food systems governance has been described. Thereafter, we reviewed graphic frameworks and models to develop a typology for civil society actors to catalyze social change movements to transform food systems for people and the planet. The scoping review involved (1) formulating research questions; (2) developing a search strategy to identify evidence from four English-language electronic databases and reports, 2010–2023; and (3–4) selecting, analyzing, and synthesizing evidence into a narrative review. Results yielded 5715 records, and 36 sources were selected that described and depicted graphic frameworks and models examined for purpose, scale, political ideology, paradigm, discourse, principles, governance, and democracy. Evidence was used to develop a graphic food systems governance typology with distinct political ideologies (i.e., neoliberal, reformist, progressive, radical); paradigms (i.e., maintain, reform, transition, transform); discourses (i.e., food enterprise, food security, food justice, food sovereignty); types of governance (i.e., multistakeholder, shared, self); and democracy (i.e., representative, participatory, deliberative). This proof-of-concept typology could be applied to examine how change agents use advocacy and activism to strengthen governance for sustainable diets, regenerative food systems, and planetary health.

“…Yet, studies of alternative food systems have paid little attention to farms organized as nonprofits. Given the burgeoning interest in food system governance (DuPuis and Gillon, 2009;Hospes and Brons, 2016;Andrée et al, 2019), it is surprising that no study has looked at non-profit governance, either at the system or individual organizational level. While examinations of food system actors have included food nonprofit organizations, none have directly addressed their specific governance structure.…”

The study of non-profit food organizations has focused primarily on food policy, urban gardens, coops, and farmers' markets in cities. Despite significant research on these kinds of food non-profits, research specifically on non-profit farms – organizations that produce food for local communities – is nearly non-existent. We argue that non-profit farms are a category that deserves more research attention. This article asks what services non-profit farms see themselves as providing to their communities, along with a supply of local food. We focus on the missions of non-profit farms, using farms on the GuideStar database of non-profit organizations. We also examine, through interviews and website analysis, the role of non-profit farms in the Hudson Valley, long a hub of non-profit farms. We conclude that local non-profit farms are hybrid organizations that perform services that are similar to local community non-profits, supporting local social welfare, environment, education, and community development roles, along with providing local food access and, in some cases, supporting food system change.

“…The concept of food system is enjoying a resurgence in popularity among researchers and policymakers -as illustrated by a voluminous literature (Hospes & Brons 2016;Béné et al 2019) and its central role in shaping international policy, as illustrated by the recent United Nations Food Systems Summit. However, the concept of food systems is far from new.…”

Aquatic foods are important for nutrition, livelihoods and cuisines in many countries across Asia and Africa, yet they have historically been overlooked in food policy and research (Béné et al. 2015;Golden et al. 2021). However, in response to renewed political attention to food systems, including at the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (Tigchelaar et al. 2022;Crona et al. 2023), there is increasing recognition of the accessible and affordable contribution of aquatic foods to nutrition security in both high-and low-income countries (Béné et al. 2015; Bennett et al. 2021;Ryckman et al. 2021). There is also growing realization that this contribution is made possible by the inherent diversity of aquatic food systems -including land and seascapes that produce over 600 farmed species and 2,200 from wild caught animal and plant species (Naylor et al. 2021a;Crona et al. 2023), and a diversity of actors and activities associated with producing, transforming, distributing, and consuming aquatic foods (Short et al. 2021; Tigchelaar et al. 2022;Tlusty et al. 2019).Owing to a combination of factors -most notably population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization -demand for aquatic food has continued to increase over recent decades, leading to transformations in how it is produced, traded and consumed (HLPE 2014;FAO 2022). Current understandings of these transformations are dominated by a productivist perspective that focuses on the spectacular intensification and expansion of aquaculture -a phenomenon commonly referred to as the 'blue revolution' (Garlock et al. 2020). This productivist framing holds important policy implications as it influences the ways in which aquatic food systems are imagined, understood and ultimately governed. At the heart of this blue revolution rhetoric is the assertion that aquatic productivity must keep increasing in order to meet the ever-growing demand for these foods globally Chapter 1 1 2 (see Pullin & Neal 1984;Bush 2008;Hishamunda et al. 2009). The conjunction of this narrative with wider neoliberal agendas of economic development and growth (see Sonnino et al. 2016) has consequently asserted that aquaculture is fundamental to food and nutrition security by making aquatic foods more abundant and cheaper (Short et al. 2021). Over time, aquatic productivism has been credited with even wider (yet poorly substantiated) merits (Béné et al. 2016). For instance, 'blue economy' narratives have driven perceptions that aquatic landscapes have an untapped potential for aquaculture expansion to deliver economic growth and improved livelihoods (Cisneros-montemayor et al. 2021). In addition, the blue revolution is assumed to deliver a range of opportunities for improving environmental performance (e.g. lower carbon footprints) of the (global) food systems to which they contribute (Crona et al. 2023; Willett et al. 2019).While having driven the expansion of aquaculture, aquatic productivism has also drawn attention away from multiple other factors that shape the role of aquatic foods, especial...
