Building on recent scholarship in the sociology of food, Claire Lamine uses in-depth case studies from France and Brazil to compile a critical survey of social science approaches to sustainability transitions in agrifood systems. Lamine addresses the diverse pathways of transition encountered across multiple levels, from the farm through farmers' networks and food chains, to the territorial scale of regions. She also explores the efforts made by those involved in the agricultural world to create new connections between agriculture, food, environment and health, while also taking social equity issues into account. Lamine's work adopts a comparative perspective to explore the translation of agroecology into government programmes and the specific modes of governance involved in France and Brazil - two countries that pioneer in implementing agroecology yet which differ both in visions and context. Providing new options for understanding the complex issue of agrifood transitions, this book will make an impact for those studying food systems, geography, sociology, politics and agriculture.

Debates around agroecology most often focus on the depth and radicality of the change and relate to different visions of agroecology, which tends to eclipse the ontological relationships of actors (or researchers) to the very 'change process' itself. This book is an endeavor to explicate relationships to change in agroecological transitions, referring to two contrasting and ideal-typical ontological relationships to change, the determinist perspective and the open-ended perspective. These conceptions or interpretations of the change process are based respectively on whether objectives and means are predetermined, or defi ned during the change process and while accounting for the uncertainty and complexity of mechanisms of change as well as for the diversity of actors'visions. Many diverse cases of agroecological transitions are discussed in this book, in order to highlight the fact that these perspectives are not always exclusive in transition process but that they can be articulated successively or combined complementarily, in different ways - thus reinforcing the potential diversity of transition pathways.

Les saisons sont à la mode, et pourtant… Les innovations techniques de ces dernières décennies (transformation des modes de transports, d'élevages ou de cultures, transformations génétiques des espèces elles-mêmes) nous ont permis, en grande partie, de nous affranchir des contraintes saisonnières. En ce début de XXIe siècle, les questions climatiques et celles de la transition écologique nous interpellent sur l'importance de tenir compte des saisons. Entre contrainte et choix, désir d'affranchissement et volonté de les respecter, notre rapport aux saisons n'a pas fini d'interroger. Comment se pratiquent les variations saisonnières dans nos quotidiens alimentaires ? Quelles récurrences et ruptures engagent-elles ? Comment la saisonnalité s'articule-t-elle à d'autres rythmes sociaux et comment affecte-t-elle les rapports aux espaces et temporalités humaines ? Ce livre explore plusieurs des dimensions liées à la saisonnalité dans le domaine alimentaire. Par la diversité des sources présentées, par son caractère pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage met en lumière la richesse des pratiques de saisonnalité, ici et ailleurs, hier et aujourd'hui.
