The European Research
Group SYAL, and the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) invite you
to propose papers for the 9th world conference on localized agri-food
systems (SYAL). The conference will be organized
by the Centre for Transdisciplinary Development Studies (CETRAD) of
the University of Trás-os-Montes and alto Douro and held in Vila
Real, Portugal on the 16th, 17th, 18th of November the 2020.
The
news challenges faced by the global food production system, with the need to
protect the environment and promote sustainable development, are an opportunity
for alternative and localized agri-food systems. The potential
contribution of localized agri-food systems to rural development by by
activating local resources, promoting economic development, social
cohesion and counter-acting the demographic impact of agricultural
modernization, has also increased their political relevance. Research has
addressed various aspects of the relationship between SYAL and food
quality such as geographical indications, as well as territorial,
organizational and cultural issues, but there are still
many unanswered questions and theoretical gaps to fill. We
welcome all topics related to localized agri-food systems, including production
approaches, consumers behavior, food heritage
strategies, alternative and sustainable food systems,
food innovation, the role of institutions and local organizations,
markets, gastronomy, health and nutrition challenges, and the
relationship with territorial development.
