Dining On the Social Economy: Local, Sustainable Food Systems and Policy Development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although the social economy has a long historical connection to food, these links have not been well explored or understood, particularly with respect to social policy. But given the well-documented range of negative impacts brought on by a world economy dominated by large multinational corporations engaged in global trade, social economy organizations associated with food are more necessary than ever. This paper will examine the connections between the social economy, sustainability, and sustainable food systems, before moving on to look at the role of the social economy in our current global unsustainable food system and in a projected local, sustainable food system. It will conclude with a discussion of the social economy and the enactment of local sustainable food policy that can model alternatives to help reorient the economy and social institutions toward ensuring everyone is fed within the ecological limits of the planet. Si les liens entre l'économie sociale et l'alimentation sont loin d'être nouveaux, ils restent peu étudiés ou peu compris, surtout en matière de politique sociale. On n'ignore pourtant rien des répercussions néfastes de notre économie, où le commerce mondial est le fait de grandes multinationales, et dans un tel contexte, on a plus que jamais besoin d'organismes d'économie sociale en rapport avec l'alimentation. Nous commencerons par nous pencher sur ce qui unit l'économie sociale, la durabilité et les systèmes alimentaires durables. Nous comparerons ensuite le rôle de l'économie sociale dans le système alimentaire non durable actuellement en place à l'échelle mondiale et celui qu'elle jouerait dans un système alimentaire durable local. Nous terminerons par une discussion sur l'économie sociale et la mise en place d'une politique alimentaire durable à l'échelle locale, capable de créer des solutions qui contribueront à réorienter les institutions économiques et sociales, afin de veiller à ce que l’alimentation des êtres humains s’inscrive dans les limites écologiques de la planète.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
