Publication AKIS in England - overview and spotlights(2024-11-11) Knierim, Andrea; Ingram, JulieA situation analysis of the AKIS in England was undertaken in the time from January to May 2024 with a special focus on the private sector advisory subsystem’s actor constellation and performance based on grey and peer reviewed literature, expert and stakeholder interviews. Results show a particular diversity of actor types, characterised by different organisational features. Thus, it seems that in many places in England, farmers have many choices among service providers when it comes to making use of advisory services. Secondly, the public actor, the governmental department for environment, food and rural affairs (DEFRA) plays a fostering role for offering advisory services in combination with setting up ecosystem service and climate mitigation related measures. Thirdly, a shared conviction of the advantages of peer-to-peer learning formats among all service providing actors in the AKIS was observed as well as a readiness to collaborate with other AKIS actors across all organisational types and subsystems. On the other hand, there is a widely expressed need of coordination among AKIS actors, but no strategic planning or initiative in this regard. Former significant actors have shifted or reduced their roles and influence and, there is a considerable number of hybrid initiatives and innovation networks emerging, which represent and promote an array of new farming practices, technologies and food (production) styles and bridge various communities of farmers, researchers, consumers, citizens and other actors. Although the present study fulfils its objective of providing a (snapshot) overview of the AKIS in England, it equally reveals the blind spots and information deficits with respect to farmers’ needs and interests and the degree to which they are satisfied through the diversity of service actors.Publication Außer-Haus-Verpflegung und Bio-Lebensmittel in DeutschlandTrends - Hemmnisse - Chancen : Ergebnisse einer Expertenbefragung

(2025) Koroed, Olga; Gutekunst, Leoni; Ueltgesforth, Jan; Knierim, AndreaThe adoption of digital technologies in agriculture requires not only technological advancements but also targeted support through advisory services and education. As part of the DiWenkLa project, this study examines the role of advisory services in the digitalization of agricultural enterprises. Through a systematic analysis, existing services are identified, categorized, and evaluated based on their content and availability. Additionally, case studies and expert interviews provide deeper insights into the challenges and opportunities of digital technologies for farms. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the conditions and influencing factors of agricultural digitalization.Publication Connecting resonance theory with social-ecological thinking: Conceptualizing self-world relationships in the context of sustainability transformations(2025) Brossette, Florian; Bieling, ClaudiaRelationships and interactions between humans and their environment play an important role in sustainability transformations. However, their conceptualization remains a big challenge in current social-ecological research. We propose resonance theory by the German sociologist Hartmut Rosa as a fruitful framework to advance social-ecological thinking. Resonance theory investigates the quality of the relationships between self and world and scrutinizes their relevance for transformations. To illustrate the potentials of resonance theory, we use a vignette approach to cases of landscape stewardship initiatives in the Black Forest Biosphere Reserve in Germany. In distinguishing between self and world and highlighting the role of relationships, resonance theory brings ontological and epistemological clarity, while overcoming a strict dichotomy between social and ecological. We find that resonance theory provides a much needed framework to describe how system-wide transformations emerge from interactions and out of relationships at the individual level. We argue that resonance theory contributes to social-ecological systems thinking by adding the notion of uncontrollability in transformations and shifting the debate on agency towards relationships. Synthesis and applications: This paper demonstrates the meaningfulness of relational paradigms for real-world transformations in theory and practice.Publication Gastronomische Anspruchsexpansionvom prekären Verhältnis des Kochs zu seinen Gästen
