“…These findings could support the development of positive narratives on sustainability transitions in IFS. These narratives are essential tools for inducing actors to revise their values and encourage them to share common values for sustainability transition (Hubeau et al, 2019).…”

Very few studies have dealt with sustainability transitions in the agrifood sector, especially in institutional food services (IFS), and notably at a micro level. Based on 29 interviews with head cooks in France, we characterized the micro-level sustainability transition pathways that institutional catering units have been following, taking essentially four sustainable practices into consideration: organic food use, ultra-processed food use, vegetarian meals and waste management. We identified four transition pathways according to the speed, size, dimensionality and time-period of changes in those practices. We showed how these pathways are linked to the diversity of transition contexts; internal (e.g., skills) and external (e.g., local suppliers) resources and constraints. This original empirical study revealed the diversity and feasibility of sustainability transition pathways in IFS. It also showed that they do not require unreasonable increases in resources. Positive narratives on transitions need developing, together with diagnosis tools to guide them.

“…According to the scientific literature included in this study, authors such as Shilomboleni et al (2019) and Jagustović et al (2019) agree that SAR are adaptive, complex systems influenced by socioeconomical, political, environmental and cultural factors which impact food production, distribution and consumption. Hubeau et al (2019) consider that SAR have become increasingly complex, involving many interconnected structures and processes of production, transformation and supply, which are impacted by complex challenges that demand for sustainability solutions and collective actions, such as system innovation. Vallejo et al (2016) define SAR as socioecological systems where humans and the agroenvironment integrate and interact.…”

“…These authors state that AFN have become an interesting proposal to tackle the pressure of large retail supermarkets, since they provide benefits and integrate both producers and consumers; they may also promote more sustainable behaviors, for instance, food producers' markets, community agriculture schemes and agricultural supply shops, where food products are marketed using social and spatial information that differentiates them from conventional agri-food systems (see Table 4).

“…In northern Belgium, AFN were created by agents of short food supply chains as a strategy aimed at identifying shared transformation pathways and developing a strategic plan to start a transition towards agri-food sustainability and to end natural and human resources depletion. Most of or all the members of the agri-food network share the same cultural characteristics (Hubeau et al, 2019).…”

(English) Agro-food systems in indigenous communities, due to their characteristics of complexity and adaptability, must be studied from a multidimensional perspective. In this class of systems, economic, political, environmental, social and cultural factors intervene, and among these there are multiple systemic interrelationships that affect the processes of production, processing, distribution and consumption of food The text includes three chapters, related to the specific objectives of this research in which a methodological research proposal is presented, from which it was possible to build a theoretical model of an agri-food system based on socio-ecological resilience, as an essential characteristic for the Sustainability of the agri-food systems of the Ziparadó community in the Embera Dóbida indigenous reservation of Tanela, located in the municipality of Unguía, department of Chocó, Colombia The first chapter corresponds to the documentary stage of the Participatory Evaluative Research -IEP- (acronym in Spanish), where a systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA declaration. The selected documents presented topics related to rural communities and their agri-food systems, alternative food networks, farmers' markets, community agriculture, among others. Those texts in which reference was made to industrial-type agri-food systems were excluded In the second chapter, the diagnostic stage of the (IEP) was developed, which consists of two moments: Exploratory and Deepening, in which, through mixed methods, a characterization of the functional and structural aspects of six agri-food systems of indigenous families was carried out The third chapter established a theoretical model of a sustainable agri-food system for the indigenous community of Ziparadó, based on socio-ecological resilience and applying the methodology of complex systems. (Español) Los sistemas agroalimentarios en comunidades indígenas, por sus características de complejidad y adaptabilidad, se deben estudiar desde una perspectiva multidimensional. En esta clase de sistemas intervienen factores económicos, políticos, ambientales, sociales y culturales, y entre estos se presentan múltiples interrelaciones sistémicas que inciden en los procesos de producción, procesamiento, distribución y consumo de los alimentos. El texto incluye tres capítulos, relacionados con los objetivos específicos de esta investigación en los que se presenta una propuesta metodológica de investigación, a partir de la cual se logró construir un modelo teórico de sistema agroalimentario basado en la resiliencia socioecológica, como característica indispensable para la sostenibilidad de los sistemas agroalimentarios de la comunidad de Ziparadó en el resguardo indígena Embera Dóbida de Tanela, ubicado en el municipio de Unguía, departamento de Chocó, Colombia. El primer capítulo corresponde a la etapa documental de la Investigación Evaluativa Participativa -IEP-, donde se realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica acorde con la declaración PRISMA. Los documentos seleccionados presentaron temas referentes a comunidades rurales y sus sistemas agroalimentarios, redes alimentarias alternativas, mercados de agricultores, agricultura comunitaria, entre otros. Se excluyeron aquellos textos en los que se hacía referencia a sistemas agroalimentarios de tipo industrial. En el segundo capítulo se desarrolló la etapa diagnóstica de la (IEP) que consta de dos momentos: Exploratorio y Profundización, en los que por medio de métodos mixtos se realizó una caracterización de los aspectos funcionales y estructurales de seis sistemas agroalimentarios pertenecientes a familias indígenas El tercer capítulo se estableció un modelo teórico de sistema agroalimentario sostenible para la comunidad indígena de Ziparadó, desde la resiliencia socioecologica y aplicando la metodología de sistemas complejos
