[en] Social sciences in the transformation of AFS: critic, transdisciplinary, participation
Social sciences have play a central role in the critic of society and this is valid also for agri-food systems. This critical stance has sometimes made difficult the collaboration with other disciplines and actors of the practice. On the other hand, the same criticism has facilitated the collaboration with “activists” in specific configurations. Transdisciplinary and participative approach offer a third way of engaging with social change. On this basis, what can we say about the role of social sciences in the transformation of agri-food systems and what strategies can we apply to enhance the contribution of social science to agri-food/agri-environmental research and action.
