Here we expect abstracts that deal with food-producing inputs in the food system as a commons (seeds, knowledge, pastures, land). Also water and marine resources, such as rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastlines can be understood as food producing commons. Studies enabling an understanding of collective management practices in dealing with natural resources of the food chain are welcome. Further, we envision studies on the effect of specifically shared governance forms on food security and safety, nature and biodiversity protection, or adaptation capacities of food systems to climate change. A diversity of examples will be privileged during the selection process.
