Conventions, Alternative Food Networks, and Food Movements

Économie des conventions
Gilles Allaire (2025) In Rainer Diaz-Bone & Guillemette de Larquier (eds.), Handbook of economics and sociology of conventions. Cham: Springer, Online first Abstract. The concepts of “alternative food network” (AFN) and of “quality turn” date back to the end of the 1990s and were initially developed primarily within the framework of the economics and ...

Exploring the inter-connections between Alternative Agrifood and Seafood Networks for building food systems resilience

Canadian Food Studies
In the context of intensifying threats to food systems and a growing need for resilience, Alternative Agrifood Networks (AANs) and Alternative Seafood Networks (ASNs) have emerged as notable bright spots across North America. Collectively, AANs and ASNs

Alternative food networks

, 2022
Questo capitolo dell’Atlante del Cibo è dedicato al tema degli Alternative Food Networks (AFN). I circuiti AFN nascono originariamente in nicchie di mercato parallele ai canali tradizionali promuovendo la vendita di prodotti locali di qualità o del Fair Trade (Goodman e Goodman, 2009).

Alternative food networks and food provisioning as a gendered act

Agriculture and Human Values, 2014
Alternative food networks (AFNs) are exemplified by organic, fair trade and local foods, and promote forms of food provisioning that are ‘corrective’ to conventional agriculture and food (agrifood) systems. Despite enthusiasm for AFNs, scholars have increasingly interrogated whether inequalities are perpetuated by AFNs.

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...

Targeting transcription factors associated with hemoglobinopathies: Lessons from successful interventions and implications for cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the transcription factors, repressive chromatin‐modifying complexes, and epigenetic mechanisms that control fetal hemoglobin repression. Notably, many regulators of γ‐globin silencing also function in transcriptional and epigenetic networks that drive cancer, highlighting opportunities to translate advances in hemoglobinopathy ...

The impacts of food chains: are alternative food networks sustainable?

Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy
Abstract The environmental impacts related to food production are of growing concern, with the phases of production and distribution that significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Among the call for sustainable food supply chains, Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) have emerged as alternatives to Large-Scale Retail (LSR ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of positively selected codons in FcγRI reveal novel biochemical binding properties

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

What is alternative about Alternative Agri-Food Networks? A research agenda towards an interdisciplinary assessment

Scienze del Territorio, 2014
The paper outlines a framework of the existing literature upon Alternative Food Networks moving from four different although interrelated standpoints: territorial, environmental, economic, and sociological.
