ABOUT NABIL HASNAOUI AMRI

Food as a link between agronomy and territory: within the Civam network, I designed and developed an action research project on short food supply chains and their benefits and limitations in reducing the precariousness of farmers and consumers. Along with others, this project helped to inform the 2014 LAAF bill, which gave rise to the TAPs. During my CIFRE thesis, I interacted closely with the players involved in the agricultural and food governance of the Montpellier metropolitan area, which was in the process of being built. On this occasion, I supported the actions of the new ‘agro-ecological and food policy’ in terms of setting up new multifunctional units in agriculture and livestock farming. Following on from this thesis, and after gaining valuable experience in the world of continuing agricultural education, I joined the ImpresS team, which is responsible for helping CIRAD project leaders and their partners to design impact pathways, with the ultimate aim of producing research that is useful, used and has an impact. Territorial governance of food systems - participation, territory and food projects: through this research into the territorial governance of food systems, I would like to understand and support: the participation of the most vulnerable; collective dynamics, the role of the common in shaping public action; and the players in the collectives and territories behind food projects. I approach territorial governance as a situated process of social interaction around territorial systems. This process sets in motion actors with asymmetrical resources who are led to collectively construct an intervention aimed at appropriate changes and institutional and organisational innovations. To do this, I propose to combine 3 approaches: the geography of practices; the sociology of public action; and the co-construction of change-oriented interventions. In the coming years, I will be exploring the following questions: a) What collective and power dynamics are at work in food systems at various scales? b) Under what conditions do the most vulnerable groups participate in the territorial governance of food systems, enabling the development of interventions (including public policies) that concern and target them? c) How can multi-scale governance support the transition of food systems towards greater sustainability and resilience?
