Esnetik members’ sense of urgency and awareness that they must become allies of consumers and the environment has shaped what could be termed an ‘autonomous interdependence’ model of interrelations and dependencies amongst producers, workers and consumers. The chapter includes an invitation to reflect about how willing academia is to give up control of knowledge production processes and to accept and value other ways of knowing and their holders without incorporating them into predetermined and constrained categories that hinder positive transformations in food systems.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess63 Sociologíacapítulo de libromulti-stakeholder cooperative‘prosumers’autonomysustainable food systems
