ABSTRACT

In the last years, academics and non-academics alike have increasingly been discussing the commons as an old–new framework to engage with the interactions between humans and nature. Despite the multiplicity of communal practices that characterize current food systems all over the world, it has only been recently that the idea of food as a commons has received attention behind the doors of universities and research centres. It took even longer for it to permeate the sphere of public and political debates (Dalla Costa, 2007; Rundgren, 2016; Sumner, 2011; Vivero-Pol 2017a, 2017b).
