    Governance in the Global Agro-food System: Backlighting the Role of Transnational Supermarket Chains.Jason Konefal, Michael Mascarenhas & Maki Hatanaka - 2005 - Agriculture and Human Values 22 (3):291-302.
    With the proliferation of private standards many significant decisions regarding public health risks, food safety, and environmental impacts are increasingly taking place in the backstage of the global agro-food system. Using an analytical framework grounded in political economy, we explain the rise of private standards and specific actors – notably supermarkets – in the restructuring of agro-food networks.

    Although digital technologies often receive the bulk of media and academic attention, there is another crucial aspect of the data revolution in agriculture: governance frameworks for collecting and analyzing data. Metrics are increasingly being used to facilitate the collection of data and convert it into useful forms. While there is growing interest in using metrics and data to enhance the sustainability of food and agriculture, there is a lack of research on how metrics are put into practice and to what (...)
