  • Description: In recent time, European agrifood systems are witnessing tremendous changes which affect the way traditionalbusinesses are organized. Among these trends one can recognize three sets of factors. The first is digitalization,resulting in a recombination of transactions and new players entering the agrifood chains. This phenomenonis seen concomitantly at the agricultural level, at the food processing and at the retailing levels, inducingthe emergence and expansion of innovative governance structures, including those that enable the activeparticipation of consumers and small holders, but at the same time provides some reinforcement of globalor traditional players.The second category of factors is societal demands: inclusion of small holders, territorial equity, closure ofthe income gap, organizational and business model innovations for social inclusiveness, nutritional aspects,etc. This brings society, and its challenges, to the heart of agrifood systems, putting forward the right toaccess to safe, affordable and culturally acceptable food as a fundamental right.The third one is environmental, with its multiple components: climate change, biodiversity, energy, circulareconomy, waste management etc. These societal and environmental challenges open new opportunities forinnovative governance structures, in terms of types of contracts, scope of decision rules, characteristics oftransactions, control and incentive mechanisms, which are usually seen at ecosystemic and/or more local levels.
