values-based supply chain governanceVéronique will join CIAS and Center for Coops to research governance issues in values-based regional food supply networks, starting in November 2025. Watch this space for more information.
Véronique’s research project is entitled “Amplifying agri-food sustainability pathways: a value chains’ contextual fit perspective”. She aims to:
– identify which combinations of governance structures, stakeholders’ interactions and contextual influences contribute to amplification pathways of differentiated quality in agri-food;
– identify enablers of (agri-food) sustainability amplification in institutional coordination rather than normative steering; and, by this, endorse a non-substantive approach of sustainability amplification outcomes anchored into the stakeholders’ definition of goals and perception of their achievement;
– stress the relevance of approaching sustainability amplification from a meso-level value chain perspective;
– contribute to the comprehension of the impact of context on sustainability amplification and inter-organizational coordination.
