Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

"There are efforts by a variety of social movements and civil society organizations\nto encourage the development of alternative agri-food networks that are socially just,\necological, humane and which ensure food security and food sovereignty. Many activists\nfocus their critiques on the role of large multinational corporations in restructuring and\nglobalizing the agri-food system. They offer in its place a vision of locally oriented,\nsmall scale ecological farming. Drawing on the gendered experience of small scale\nwomen farmers on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada who are developing local markets for\ntheir farm products and the impact of new Provincial food safety regulations, this paper\nargues if such social change initiatives are to be successful, one will need to look at how\nfood safety regulations accomplish outcomes that have relatively little to do with food\nsafety but effectively close the possibilities for more ecologically grounded and locally\nfocused food production and distribution. That is, food safety regulations seem inevitably\nto close off to farmers the possibility of economic alternatives to the globalizing agri food\nsystem. There will be 'no alternatives'. Paradoxically, consumer led food and food\nsecurity movements can undermine the very changes they wish to see happen." (author's abstract)

Not 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.
