Abstract
ABSTRACT \nThe majority of the world’s smallholders live in countries that experience(d) socialism, but they largely remain invisible in agrarian studies. This special issue puts the spotlight on postsocialist smallholders, asking whether, and how, they (1) fulfil important functions in society; (2) engage in resistance (against the state or corporate actors); and (3) constitute an alternative to the industrial agri-food system. We find that post-socialist smallholders rarely confront the mainstream agri-food system head-on, but that they make a larger contribution to sustainability, community and food sovereignty than do smallholders or alternative agriculture in the “West”. \n \nRÉSUMÉ \nLa majorité des petits exploitants du monde vivent dans des pays socialistes ou qui en ont fait l’expérience. Ils restent cependant largement invisibles dans les études agraires. Ce numéro special met en lumière les petits exploitants post-socialistes et soulève les questions suivantes : (1) remplissent-ils des fonctions importantes dans la société, et si oui, comment? (2) Sont-ils engagés dans des dynamiques de résistance (envers l’État ou les entreprises)? (3) Constituent-ils une alternative au système agroalimentaire industriel? Nous constatons que les petits exploitants postsocialistes adoptent rarement une attitude de confrontation directe envers le système agroalimentaire dominant, mais qu’ils contribuent d’avantage à la durabilité, à la communauté et à la souveraineté alimentaire que les petits exploitants ou que l’agriculture alternative « Occidentale ».

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
