Here we expect abstracts that focus on the joint responsibility and exercising the “commoning” that institutes the commons. We are interested in the basic governance forms that allow for a joint responsibility how food products are produced and distributed. Abstracts should emphasize governance examples that produce the value of joint and shared responsibility for food or empirical results how citizens perceive these concrete opportunities to participate (i.e. hared actions between consumers and producers or food valuations that shape particular policy preferences). Eaters increasingly want to participate in the food system not only from the shop to the table, but from the field to the plate. You may focus on participation in decision making, such as how production risk is shared in community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, or how distribution channels are set up directly between producers and consumers without intermediaries.
