Details about the next ISIE SEM Perpetual Online Conference:
Sociometabolic research in agri-food systems: circularity and self-sufficiency
Circularity, short supply chains, and, increasingly, sufficiency are all considered key towards more sustainable agri-food systems. How are they defined and used in socio-metabolic research? Are these concepts reinforcing or conflicting with each other? What are the pitfalls of using them as proxies for sustainability?
In this session of the ISIE-SEM perpetual online conference on circularity and self-sufficiency of agri-food systems, we are welcoming two leading researchers to share some of their latest work and insights into the ever relevant question on how to feed our planet sustainably.
Join us on Friday 12 April 2024 from 12:00-13:00 CEST online at Teams.
Programme:
- Introduction into the session by section chair Stefan Pauliuk and session chair Anastasia Papangelou
- “A review of socio-metabolic research on circularity in agri-food systems and pathways to action”, by Souhil Harchaoui*, Myriam Grillot, Jean-Yves Courtonne, Sophie Madelrieux, *INRAE, Institut Agro, SAS, Rennes, France
- “A socio-metabolic approach to analyse self-sufficiency in EU‘s agri-food systems”,
by Lisa Kaufmann,Institute of Social Ecology (SEC), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU)
Afterward, panel discussion and open discussion with participants.
