To better understand policy integration dynamics, this paper analyses the early implementation of three urban food policies in France (Montpellier, Rennes, Strasbourg). A key challenge of food policies is their intersectoral nature, while policy design is usually meant to be sectoral. This article seeks to understand both levers and brakes to the i...
This chapter examines one of the first European policies, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It does so by focusing on the policy’s objectives, instruments, actors, and debates. It looks at the way in which the CAP has evolved since the 1960s, and attempts to explain this evolution by asking and answering a number of important questions: why has...
Why and how organic agriculture has been developing in Africa is under-studied, especially from a political stance. We explore two contrasting empirical case studies of national organic trajectories: Uganda and Benin. In both countries, organic agriculture emerged in the 1980s around food security stakes and spread in the 1990s through certified ex...
Large-scale agricultural investments (LAIs) transform land use systems worldwide. There is, however, limited understanding about how the common global drivers of land use change induce different forms of agricultural investment and produce different impacts on the ground. This article provides a crosscountry comparative analysis of how differences...

This article traces how 'agroecology' is co-produced as a global socio-technical object. The site of co-production, the Global Dialogue on Agroecology, was convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in different cities around the world between 2014 and 2018 (Rome 2014; Brasilia, Dakar, Bangkok 2015; La Paz, Kunmin...
Despite a common legal framework at EU-level, organic farming has developed differently in Member States. Previous analyses showed the influence of various factors on the development of the organic sector, including public policies, discourses, and marketing channels. Building on a relational perspective, we propose a conceptual framework that prov...
The Cirad Policy Brief
In Africa, official statistics contain little data on organic agriculture, even though its products are increasingly available on local and export markets. African consumer demand is growing, providing a dynamic economic opportunity. Today, there is no doubt that organic agriculture is making an important contribution to the...
Historically, agroecology was constructed in specific locales through the articulation of professional, political and intellectual spaces: the ‘agricultural professionals’ space, spaces of scientific research (agronomy, biology, ecology, entomology, social sciences) and social movement spaces that are critical (to varying degrees) of the industrial...
Au cours du XX e siècle, la bioéconomie a été définie dans divers champs académiques : étude des populations en biologie, modèles de gestion des ressources naturelles ou approche entropique de l’économie à la façon de Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. Au début des années 2000, elle est érigée comme mot d’ordre institutionnel sous l’impulsion de l’OCDE pui...
This chapter analyses the debates and tensions that characterise the field of organic agriculture. 1 These tensions concern the principles, but perhaps more often, the practices and systems put in place to implement organic agriculture, which can lead to an important gap between the discourse and the facts about organic food. We analyse the specifi...
La permanence d’un référentiel de politique publique n’est jamais garantie ; à tout moment il peut être confronté à des interprétations rivales menaçant son hégémonie. L’objet de cet article est de proposer un cadre d’analyse agonistique des politiques publiques, visant à saisir les controverses résultant de ces confrontations. Il pose que leur che...
Behind the Scenes of the Quality Labels: Tripartite Regulation and Nested Markets From the Europeanization to the Globalization of Organic Agriculture
This paper focuses on the actual conditions of government by tripartite standardization. This form of regulation combining voluntary standards, certification and accreditation is increasingly used in...
The multidimensional nature of food security often leads experts to recommend mobilising all public intervention sectors to ensure that food security policies are inter-sectoral, and not the sole responsibility of a single sector. However, in African contexts such as in Burkina Faso, food security policies are in most cases far from being inter-sec...
Food security, a long-established item on the international agenda, raises many issues including production, consumption, poverty, inequalities, healthcare and conflicts. However, in 2007/2008 the global food security debate was relaunched with a single dominant focus which continues to the present day: increasing agricultural production. This pape...
This article analyzes the institutionalization of the global organic agriculture field and sheds new light on the conventionalization debate. The institutions that shape the field form a tripartite standards regime of governance (TSR) that links standard-setting, certification, and accreditation activities, in a layering of markets for services tha...
Mechanisms to standardize sustainable agricultural practices first emerged in the early 2000s with the goal of establishing responsible rules of corporate behaviour. Based on voluntary commitments by firms, these mechanisms are usually structured around a particular agricultural product and bring together the global value chain’s various actors (pr...
Le but de ce chapitre est d’analyser la trajectoire d’évolution qu’a connue l’agriculture biologique, entre posture critique et politique et constitution d’un segment de marché autour d’un label officiel, et les tensions que ces dynamiques ont suscité parmi les acteurs du champ de l’agriculture biologique. Il se base sur trois travaux portant sur l...
titre>Résumé Des dispositifs de standardisation des pratiques agricoles durables émergent au début des années 2000 en vue de dessiner des règles de comportement responsable des firmes. Reposant sur des engagements volontaires de la part des firmes, ces dispositifs se structurent le plus souvent autour d’un produit agricole donné et réunissent les d...
This joint concept note is based on the creation of a think-tank at CIRAD on organic farming in Southern countries. It sums up the current thoughts of this group in complementarity with the institutional positions of CIRAD regarding agroecology and ecological intensification, with which organic farming shares various concepts and approaches. Summar...
This chapter focuses on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which has long been of symbolic importance to the European integration process. The CAP, which came into force from 1962, is based on three general principles: market unity, Community preference, and financial solidarity. The chapter first considers the early days of CAP and the issue of...
Scholars describe the proliferation of sustainability standards by multi-stakeholder initiatives as part of an organizational field for sustainability. The aim of this article is to gain a better understanding of the institutionalization process of this global organizational field by focusing on the case of the ISEAL Alliance (the global associatio...
Transnational norms for sustainability
Many initiatives are implemented at all levels of governance in order to reshape globalization and mitigate its environmental and social negative impacts. Private voluntary standards are one type of these initiatives, promoted by networks of NGOs, producers and firms. These market-based instruments are prolife...

Ève Fouilleux et Allison Loconto montrent que la légitimité des normes privées de développement durable ne se fonde pas sur la conformité que celles-ci entretiennent avec des valeurs centrales correspondant à une vision du bien commun (ou plus simplement au contenu de leur cahier des charges et/ou à la réalité de leurs impacts sociaux ou environnem...
Based on the example of Geographical Indications (GI) for agricultural products in France, this article addresses the issue of greening sectoral public policies. It describes the successive attempts by an increasing number of social actors (including farmers) to “marry” GI and the environment in the nineties, by introducing compulsory criteria of e...
Como explicar que certas políticas públicas sejam tão difíceis para reformar? Como explicar, em outros contextos e momentos da ação pública, a emergência de mudanças radicais? Este artigo propõe um modelo de análise original da mudança de políticas pública, baseado nas noções de fóruns e arenas. São propostas ferramentas para apreender as dinâmicas...
About Global Crises
This article looks at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the standpoints it takes in debates over food and agriculture policies for development. Though it is the leading international organization in the field of food and agriculture policy, the FAO suffers from a credibility and legitimacy deficit. By way of exp...
La faim est-elle une fatalité ? L'insécurité alimentaire est-elle un domaine réservé aux experts ? On serait tenté de le croire face à la récurrence des situations de disette et de malnutrition dans les pays sahélo-soudaniens d'Afrique de l'Ouest. On serait également en droit de le penser étant donné la mise en scène médiatique et politique des cri...
Issues and challenges of common agricultural policies in Africa : observations from European experience
Projects for establishing common agricultural policies (CAP) in Africa have been multiplying in recent years, most of them taking the European experience in this area as reference. However, although the ambitions and declared intentions are simil...
Using an analytical grid mixing international relations and public policy analysis, we assume in this paper that international organisations compete actively at the international level for the formulation of public policies. We enlighten the difficulties experienced by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) both to exist and to be considered a...
A partir de l’exemple de la politique des Indications Géographiques des produits alimentaires (IG), cet article s’interroge sur les processus d’intégration de critères environnementaux dans les politiques sectorielles. Il présente tout d’abord les différentes tentatives de réforme dans ce sens depuis les années 1990, portées par des acteurs de plus...
Europeanization, changes and continuities of public action in Eastern countries: the geographical indications for foodstuffs in Hungary
This article deals with changes and continuities of public action by studying the transfer in the Hungarian law of the European regulation on Geographical Indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs. It sh...
This article considers the growing adoption of alternative agricultural practices, notably organic farming, by conventional farmers. Without questioning the guiding role of public policies, the article examine, via a qualitative survey of dairy farmers in Brittany, the role of personnel, technical, social and institutional factors in explaining far...
The Council is too often depicted as the battleground for intermittent clashes between national ministers. Based upon case studies of legislation produced in five 'First Pillar' sectors, the research presented here has explored the submerged, and much larger, part of this institutional 'iceberg': Council working groups. It does so by examining how...
This article focuses on intellectual capabilities as a means of promoting and influencing policy change through producing more efficient discourses. This approach is applied to the study of political strategies developed by the European Commission in order to promote its reformist views of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Two distinct periods...

La Politique Agricole Commune est une des plus vieilles politiques européennes. L'analyse de son historique met en évidence l'alternance de phases de stabilité et d'épisodes de crise et de déstabilisation de la politique, qui mettent enjeu des acteurs et des configurations institutionnelles différentes au sein du système politique communautaire. On...
La réforme de la PAC et les accords sur le volet agricole du GATT modifient la répartition des avantages financiers d'appartenance au marché commun agricole entre les Douze. Le modèle "Erpac" de la direction de la Prévision a permis d'en réaliser une évaluation à travers l'étude des effets redistributifs de la PAC avant réforme, et l'analyse de leu...

Ce projet avait pour but d'étudier les situations de crise considérées comme des objets construits tant (géo-)politiquement, sociologiquement qu'économiquement en Afrique de l'Ouest (Mali et Sénégal). La recherche a été menée par un collectif de chercheurs auprès d'une pluralité d'acteurs impliqués dans la gestion/régulation des crises à Bamako et à Dakar (2004-2005) avant de questionner l'échelle globale de la crise mondiale (2007-2008).
