- Opis:
- The paper analyses collective learning strategies aimed at the transformation of food systems in the framework of food sovereignty, in the context of such key issues as envi-ronmental sustainability, socially just relations in diversified economy, and citizen participation in food systems gover-nance. In particular, the author proposes to focus on the systematisation created by Colin R. Anderson, Chris Mau-ghan and Michel P. Pimbert on the basis of their qualitative and action research undertaken for the purpose of develo-ping the European Agroecology Knowledge Exchange Ne-twork (EAKEN). The network is part of the broader pro-cess of knowledge circulation led by the La Via Campesina movement, which has introduced the concept of food so-vereignty into wider public debates. The main objective of EAKEN is to strengthen bottom-up learning strategies and informal education processes in the field of agroecology, which is defined through reference to sustainable farming practices and their recognised transformative potential. The author considers the pillars of transformative agroecology learning identified by the above-mentioned researchers in combination with various approaches in social movement The paper analyses collective learning strategies aimed at the transformation of food systems in the framework of food sovereignty, in the context of such key issues as envi-ronmental sustainability, socially just relations in diversified economy, and citizen participation in food systems gover-nance.

The main objective of EAKEN is to strengthen bottom-up learning strategies and informal education processes in the field of agroecology, which is defined through reference to sustainable farming practices and their recognised transformative potential. The author considers the pillars of transformative agroecology learning identified by the above-mentioned researchers in combination with various approaches in social movement learning and critical pedagogy. The analysis recognises that the evolving concept of food sovereignty covers both rural and urban fields of activity, emphasising the connections between producers, workers, consumers and social activists. Consequently, this paper contributes to the discussion on the educational practices present in alternative food ne-tworks (AFNs). As studies indicate, although new AFNs in Poland are often inspired by initiatives created in Western Europe and USA, they adopt forms that depend on the local context. The analysis of learning strategies associated with such networks, taking into account different forms of power relations, as well as emerging opportunities and constraints, allows areas for future research to be identified.
