Presentation of the Seminar

The seminar “Innovations in organizational structure and collective action in territorialized sectors” is organized by the UMR MoISA, UMR CESAER, and the “Agriculture and Sustainable Food Systems” program of the Research Network on Innovation. The SCOOP research seminars have been organized since 2022 by the UMR MoISA, aiming to develop a better understanding of Social and Solidarity Economy organizations such as associations or cooperatives, which are very present in agri-food systems. The objective of this seminar is to deepen the knowledge of forms of collective action in the context of territorial initiatives aimed at linking actors for the production, processing, and marketing of agricultural and food products at a local scale. By linking different actors within a territory, these territorialized supply chain approaches seem to address local coordination challenges between actors and the transition to agroecological production models. Beyond the necessarily collective forms that these supply chains take, it is important to question what can promote or hinder these cooperations. Three presentations will address these questions at different territorial scales, invoking several types of collective territorial innovation. The seminar is interdisciplinary, open to economists, managers, sociologists, geographers, to encourage a broad reflection on social inclusion (Food Security) and sustainability of agri-food production systems.
