  • How Do People Value Food?
    Université catholique de Louvain Earth and Life Institute (ELI), Faculté des bioingénieurs Centre de Philosophie du Droit (CPDR), Faculté de droit 377 | 2017 How do people value food? College Thomas More, Place Montesquieu 2, of. 154, Louvain-la-Neuve, 1348, BELGIUM Tel: +32 (0) 496 375 208 Email: [email protected] Twitter: @JoseLViveroPol http://biogov.uclouvain.be/staff/vivero/jose-luis.html Pol LuisVivero Jose Food is a life enabler with multiple meanings. From the industrial revolution to date, those meanings have been superseded by its commodity dimension. In this research, the commodification of food is presented as a social construction, informed by academic theory, which shapes specific food policies and blocks other policies Systematic, heuristic and normative grounded in different valuations of food. This thesis seeks to trace the genealogy of the meaning making and policy implications of two food narratives, as a commodity approaches to narratives of and commons. It focuses on “Agents in Transition”, using discourse analysis and transition theory, plus three methodological approaches (systematic, heuristic and transition in food systems governance), including the combination of quantitative and qualitative tools. The first part includes a systematic approach to schools of thought plus a research on academic literature on commons and food narratives. Notwithstanding the different interpretations, the economists’ framing as private good and commodity has prevailed to date. This framing was rather ontological (“food is a commodity”) thus preventing other phenomenological meanings to unfold and become politically relevant. The second part adopts a heuristic approach with two case studies on how the narratives influence individual and relational agency in food systems in transition (food-related JOSE LUIS VIVERO POL professionals and food buying groups).
