Summary: This article presents a methodological approach for locating, characterising, and evaluating multifunctional agrifood systems in the Spanish State administrative scale. The approach is based on sustainability and identifies dimensions and attributes of these systems. The research reveals internal territorial contrasts and differentiated features in these systems, with three basic models initially identified. A fourth mixed metropolitan-mountain model is also discovered. The study emphasizes the importance of complex and multi-scale approaches in studying these models, with state scales being the most suitable for analysis. Recognition of these approaches by public policies is deemed essential.

Summary: The Symposium delves into how the theory of commons can be applied to study, conceptualize, and transform governance models for seed and plant varieties in order to combat the loss of agrobiodiversity and the concentration of economic and political power in farming and food systems. Case studies from various global regions demonstrate the relationships between seeds and varieties and different types of common resources.

Summary: This paper proposes a theoretical model to examine the decision-making process of manufacturers and retailers regarding the introduction of private brands and low-end products. The findings suggest that these decisions are influenced by factors such as the cost of introducing private brands or launching low-end products, consumer sensitivity to carbon reduction, product competition coefficient, manufacturer's cost of high-end products, and carbon reduction cost coefficient. Additionally, there is a reciprocal relationship between brand differentiation strategy and private brand introduction strategy.

Summary: This article investigates the connection between landscape and territorialised agrifood systems, focusing on the FAO's GIAHS program and the dried grape agrifood system in Axarquia, Spain. It demonstrates that GIAHS can act as a virtual instrument for promoting agriculture-based territorial development, highlighting the value of agriculture as a cornerstone of development and giving meaning to agricultural landscapes.

Summary: This research focuses on the integration of risk governance mechanisms into traditional project governance in order to achieve sustainable development in PPP projects. By enriching the understanding of governance mechanisms, governance performance, and project sustainability, and constructing a structural equation model, the study shows that contractual governance mechanisms, relational governance mechanisms, and risk governance mechanisms have a positive impact on governance performance, which in turn positively affects project sustainability. The results provide new insights for improving project governance mechanisms and promoting sustainable development in PPP projects.

Summary: Intensive research in the past decade has led to a better understanding of factors driving enteric methane emissions in ruminants. Meta-analyses of large databases have identified successful strategies for mitigating these emissions. However, some of these strategies may have negative effects on feed intake, rumen function, and animal performance, necessitating further research to confirm their overall impact.

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the challenges faced by the global economy, and the delays in the negotiations for the post-2020 global biodiversity agenda of the Convention on Biological Diversity have highlighted the urgency of rebuilding for biodiversity, sustainability, and well-being. Drawing on the findings of the IPBES, this policy perspective discusses actions in four priority areas to inform the post-2020 agenda, including increasing funding for conservation, redirecting incentives for sustainability, creating an enabling regulatory environment, and reforming metrics for assessing progress. Governments, along with businesses and civil society, play essential roles in guiding economic systems and must work together to implement actions that shift focus towards human and ecological well-being.

Summary: This article argues for updating the definition of food security to include two additional dimensions proposed by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition: agency and sustainability. The article also shows that international policy guidance on the right to food already implies these dimensions, making it logical to adopt a six-dimensional framework for food security in policy and scholarly settings.

Summary: The world has faced three global food crises in the last 50 years, all of which have exposed the vulnerability brought by extreme concentration in the global industrial food system. This contribution provides insights for the current debates on food system transformation agenda by tracing the origins of concentration in staple grains production and trade.

Summary: Financialized food systems and climate change adaptation are closely linked. Financial actors are investing in commodity futures and index products to benefit from volatile food prices caused by climate change. Financial products like weather-based insurance are also marketed to farmers to protect them from climate impacts. However, these measures can reinforce industrial agriculture and worsen social inequalities, contributing to climate change and vulnerability.

Summary: This article discusses the potential issues, implications, and mitigating measures of corporate concentration and power in global food systems, using the agricultural inputs industry as an example. Concentrated firms in this sector can shape markets, technology and innovation agendas, and policy and governance frameworks, impacting food system outcomes. Measures such as strengthening competition policies, supporting diverse food systems, and curbing corporate influence in policy processes are needed to ensure key goals for food systems are not undermined.
