Framing Sustainability in Agro Food Chains: From Mysticism to Actual Practice

The objective of this theoretical paper is to propose an analytical framework for the study of sustainable agro-industrial systems. Distinct from the prevailing literature, the study analyzes sustainability by its systemic character, in which different economic agents are organized to produce and deliver sustainable goods to the final consumer. Built on New Institutional Economics assumptions and inspired by the concept of netchains, the paper introduces the concept of netsystem: a strictly coordinated agro-system in which horizontal and vertical transactions play a key role and in which the institutional environment plays a strategic role.
