1 FOOD, YOUTH AND THE FUTURE OF FARMING Agrifood XXIV The 24 th International Conference of Agri-food Research Network 2 5 December 2017 ITB East Hall Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Main Campus Jl. Ganesha 10 Bandung, West Java Indonesia Conference Program

2 Page 1 THE 2017 CONFERENCE The Australasian Agri-Food Research Network is an open network of researchers, activists and practitioners interested in food, agriculture and the rural sector, mainly based in Australia and New Zealand. Since its inception in 1992 it has convened regular annual research conferences (the Agrifood) and facilitated the publication of research for the purposes of promoting innovative interdisciplinary-based research on agri-food issues, encouraging debate, information exchange and collaboration between researchers based in universities and other organizations, providing a site for nurturing post-graduate students and early-career academics studying agri-food issues, and engaging with policy-makers and agri-food professionals ( Following the steps of previous Agrifood conferences that covered a wide spectrum of themes, including food sovereignty, agrarian issues, global value chains, alternative food movements and many more, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) and AKATIGA Centre for Social Analysis proudly co-host the 2017 Agrifood Conference, which, in response to a wider geographical range of the current members, is now re-named as The 24 th International Conference of the Agrifood Research Network, or AGRIFOOD XXIV for short. The conference will be held in Bandung, Indonesia, a city known for its culinary culture, surrounded by the famous Dutch colonial tea and coffee plantations, and a historical ground for the growth of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1950s. Bandung has become an embryo for creative youth cultures and meeting points of various social movements - from east to west and north to south; hence the 2017 Agrifood Conference aspires to open up a new dialogue between the Global North and South in agrifood studies, right here in Bandung. THEME FOR AGRIFOOD XXIV Today, more than ever, developing and developed nations are sharing closer concerns (albeit with different contexts) when it comes to food and agriculture depletion of arable land and agricultural resources, intergenerational gap among farmers, and the changing face of the global food systems. What can we do for the future of farming? And what can we learn from each others? These questions pushed us to propose a conference theme able to build a North-South dialogue through reflections from one another s experiences. In regard to this, and by drawing from Indonesia s networks of agrifood activists, both academics and practitioners, the Conference Organizers have invited two keynote speakers who are prominent in their fields that will speak around a wide, connecting theme: Food, Youth and the Future of Farming: Towards a Global North-South Dialogue

3 Page 2 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Ben White, Emeritus Professor of Rural Sociology, International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague Born in England in 1946, Ben White has a BA in Philosophy and Ancient History (1968) from Oxford University and MPhil (1971) and PhD (1976) in Anthropology from Columbia University. After an assignment as Specialist with the Agro-Economic Survey of Indonesia ( ) he taught for more than 30 years ( ) at the International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague where he is now Emeritus Professor of Rural Sociology. From he was also Professor Extraordinary in Social Sciences, University of Amsterdam. For many years he was Chair of the Editorial Board of Development and Change. His research interests focus on processes of agrarian change (with a focus on land tenure, employment and livelihoods) and also the anthropology and history of childhood and youth, particularly in the area of child work, education and youth employment. Henry Saragih, Chair of Indonesian Peasant Union (Serikat Petani Indonesia) Born in Sumatra, Indonesia in 1964, Henry Saragih has a degree in Public Administration from Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU). As an activist, Saragih started out his activism from his rural hometown in a fight against land-grabbing maneuver of large corporations. Since then, he has been working closely with peasants in the rural areas, touching issues around food sovereignty, agrarian reform and farmers right, through his position as the Chair of Indonesian Peasant Union. He was also the Secretary General of La Via Campesina for two periods ( and ), with which he represented billion of peasants in many forums around the world. Among his accolades include the Global Justice Award from the Institute for Global Justice (IGJ) in 2007, nominated by The Guardian as one of the 50 people who could save the planet in 2008, and among the "Green Giants: The Eco Power List" by The Observer Ethical Awards in 2011.

4 Page 3 VENUE AND PROGRAMS The conference will be held at the historic ITB s East Hall (Aula Timur), within Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) main campus, Jl. Ganesha 10 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Map to the campus can be accessed here: There will be three main programs: November 2017 : Pre-conference workshop for postgraduate students* 2 December 2017 : Field trips 3 5 December 2017 : 3-day conference (See Program in the Appendix) In keeping with the AFRN tradition, we will also host the awaited social events: 2 December 2017 : Welcome reception 3 December 2017 : Quiz night 4 December 2017 : Conference dinner Two field trips are planned for Saturday, 2 December 2017 Field trip - rural: Lembang and Northern Bandung This will cover a full-day trip to a beautiful region at the northern part of Bandung. Lembang is a mountainous area of about 2-hour drive from the city, in which you can see tea plantations, coffee plantations, dairy farms and a natural tropical landscape of an astonishing beauty. Here, we will visit a coffee company with palm civet (Luwak) in their captivity and perhaps taste the so-called most expensive coffee. We will then visit one of the largest dairy farm cooperatives in West Java and see how small-scale dairy farming is practiced in Indonesia. Field trip - urban: Historical Bandung Another option is a half-day field trip across the heart of Bandung, exploring the remnants of Dutch colonization, going about with a commuter train and enjoying the local food, fashion, and culture of the Parijs van Java.

5 Page 4 PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP A pre-conference workshop for postgraduate students and emerging scholars will take place just before the Agrifood Research Network s 24 th Annual Conference in Bandung, Indonesia. This is the first time the conference has been held outside of Australia and New Zealand, so are we are looking forward to creating an opportunity for a diverse group of emerging scholars and experienced mentors to meet, engage in meaningful discussions, and learn about local agrifood realities in the Jatinangor and Bandung areas. The overall goals of the workshop are to: provide a space for postgraduate students to interact and engage in meaningful discussion and dialogue with peers and mentors; expose students to innovative research methods in the context of agrifood research; provide a space to discuss research ethics; provide an opportunity for participants to visit agrifood sites and learn about local agrifood realities in Jatinangor. When: The workshop will be held from November 2017 (Tuesday-Thursday). If you choose to participate, you will be required to be present for the full duration of the workshop. All participants must be ready for pick-up at either Husein Sastranegara International Airport (Bandung) or the ITB main campus by 10am on Tuesday, November 28 th. On Thursday, November 30 th participants will travel together to the Agrifood Conference venue in Bandung. All participants will need to find their own accommodation on Thursday, November 30 th. Where: This 3-day workshop will be held at ITB s second campus in Jatinangor. It is located east of Bandung, around a 45-minute bus ride from the airport. The campus is a 47-hectare area surrounded by forests, artificial lakes and farms. Participants will stay in a four-building student dormitory. Dormitories have ensuite bathrooms and accommodate two people. We will pair roommates based on gender and country of origin (with the goal of mixing local and international participants). The campus has a cafeteria, jogging tracks, café, wi-fi access, and a minimart. There are also shopping malls and reasonably priced cafés near the campus. Participants will have a chance to experience local Sundanese culture and cuisine. Please inform us if you have any special dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten-free, nonpeanut based, etc.).

16 Page15 Session 01: Researching the diversity of lived experiences of agri-environmental governance across North-South boundaries Session 1a Agri-environmental governance as assemblage and everyday practice: the case of the IP-Suisse network in Switzerland Jeremie Forney University of Neuchatel, Switzerland Drawing on an ongoing research in the Swiss context, this papers explores the case of IP-Suisse, a farmers' organization that certifies, markets and promotes 'fair', 'sustainable' and 'healthy' food in collaboration with many different actors, from small bakeries to big retailers, all along the food system. IP-Suisse claims to apply a pragmatic approach that balances both ethical motivations (at the environmental and social level) and economic and productive imperatives. Obviously this way of doing has been successful. Today, the organization regroups around 20,000 farms (more than 1/3 of all the Swiss farms). This papers draws inspiration from this â œpragmaticâ stance. Firstly, it explores, in the example of IP-Suisse, how ethical motivations and practices develop, not in opposition, but in conjunction with pragmatic strategies and the materiality of food production. Secondly, this paper uses IP-Suisse, not only as a case study, but as an entry point to agri-environmental governance in its 'everyday' forms. In other words, it looks at how actors participating in IP-Suisse find themselves in concrete situations produced by the conjunction of diverse and multiple networks of governance and how they navigate, pragmatically, these complex situations, which overflow usual categorizations (public-private; conventional-alternative; etc.). From a theoretical point of view, this paper frames governance as an assemblage, i.e. the result of multiple, changing and complex interactions of heterogeneous and highly diverse social and material elements within complex, always changing and reconfiguring assemblages. Governance is consequently not solely seen as a practice by more-or less powerful actors who exert (or try to exert) control over others, but as a processual, always open and changing, borderless construct. As a conclusion, this papers hopes to demonstrate the potentialities of assemblage thinking in order to develop scientific knowledge that tries to encompass the diversity and complexity of agrifood governance. Acknowledging the complexity of governance assemblages means following the threads and webs of relations that characterise the social processes we study, regardless of classical boundaries (spatial, analytical, chronological, ontological, etc.). Furthermore, looking at governance assemblages means to search processual, always open and changing, borderless entities. Assemblages are moving somewhere between stability and change (McFarlane and Anderson, 2011). This implies a focus on possibilities that opens new ways for addressing the question of the transformation of our food system. The growth and evolution of Alternative Food Networks in Bandung, Indonesia Angga Dwiartama, Chandra Tresnadi, Alhilal Furqon, Mochammad Fikry Pratama Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia Within the last three years, the growth of alternative food initiatives in Bandung, a medium-sized city in Indonesia, has been extraordinary. Not only has the number grown rapidly, but the types and modes of entities have also evolved from merely initiatives, to collaborative networks and movements, to the extent that this movement in unity may have the capacity to influence the way in which the local and national governments govern the agricultural sector. Through in-depth interviews, participant observation and a series of group discussions, this paper documents the seemingly smooth transition of agri-environmental practices that are engined by the community sector in Bandung. Conflict and challenges are also captured along the process, resulting from different values and uneven power relations among members of the movement. The

17 Page16 findings show that despite its promising impact on the sustainability of the local food system in Indonesia, practitioners and activists within the Alternative Food Networks need to take a precaution in safeguarding this rapid interest in the movement. Food networks, food alliances, food policies and food charters: Making sense of the multiple objectives of alternative food initiatives Sean Connelly University of Otago, New Zealand In recent years, diverse alternative food initiatives have emerged in cities across New Zealand, drawing on both the particularities of the places where they are situated and experiences overseas. In this research, I reflect on the relative (im)mobility of concepts such as food justice, food sovereignty, food security, sustainable food and urban agriculture across places, the stakeholders that are engaged in shaping their meanings and the processes used to influence and shape changes to food systems in place. It is argued that understanding these diverse networks and approaches is critical for identifying opportunities and challenges for scaling up alternative food initiatives, networks and movements beyond place, for sharing lessons and inspiration and for reflecting on their broader impacts on the food system. Building Natural Capital through Value Chains: Indian Smallholder Farmers Between Global and Domestic Value Chains for Organic Rice Shantonu Abe, Amelie Bernzen University of Cologne, Institute of Geography Recent academic debates in value chain research have focused on the implications of agri-food globalization for sustainable smallholder farmer (SHF) livelihoods as they become integrated into complex and highly organized global agricultural value chains. However, few studies explicitly link these value chains to the impact they have on the natural resources of SHF. We argue that natural resources are the cornerstone of sustainability of agricultural systems, and assess the impacts of different value chains on natural resources of SHF in our study to compare the sustainability of these different value chains.increasing demand in the Global North and South for more sustainably-produced foods has led to debates on the benefits and challenges of SHF in the Global South growing (certified) organic crops - generally understood to be "sustainably" produced - for export, and more recently also for the steadily growing domestic markets, particularly in the BRICS economies. Against this backdrop, our research focuses on case studies of rice-producing SHF in the Indian states of West Bengal and Uttarakhand who practice 'organic' agriculture, and the value chains that link them to the consumer. Specifically, this paper seeks to understand the ways in which particular types of 'organic' value chain integration (domestic/international; certified/non-certified) actually influence the enhancement of natural resources (land, soil, water) which is in turn seen as a precondition to securing SHF's sustainable livelihoods. We thereby challenge the commonly assumed connotation of 'sustainability' associated with certified organic production systems. To this end, we adopt a fruitful linkage of value chain frameworks and sustainable livelihoods analysis, focusing in particular on natural capital. We argue that this approach allows us to bring together the vertically-aligned value chain dynamics and localized, horizontal influences on livelihoods 'in place'.

18 Page17 Perceptions of organic among farmers in West Java, Indonesia Mentari Alwasilah, Mia Rosmiati Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia Nowadays, people s awareness on health and ecology lifestyle has been increasing. It leads to the increase numbers of organic farmers and the emergence of organic movements in various fields. The assumption, organic farming is better creates, discrimination that organic farmers are better than conventional farmers. Whereas, the organic implication is not that simple, since there are plenty consideration s behind every farmer s decision in running their business. This study seeks to describe horticulture farmers perception towards organic farming. The results of questionnaires that were administered to 40 farmers and interview of several horticulture farmers in West Java showed that generally their perception towards organic farming is positive. The influencing factors are age variation, latest education background, business lengths, and the total land area. The organic farmers are encouraged to produce healthy foods and to preserve the environment. In its practices, they believe that organic food is one of the answers for sustainable future, which create responsible and autonomous farmers. The conventional farmers agree and have good perception towards organic farming. However, they find it dilemmatic as they have to preserve sustainable environment and to fulfill the high market demands at the same time. Even though the conventional farmers realize that they do not pay good attention to environment aspects, they still feel that they have given good contribution by fulfilling market needs. Session 1b European Soybeans and Business Unusual - Making food and farming futures against the tide of utopic globalization Dana Bentia University of Neuchatel, Switzerland The Donau Soja certification programme emerged over the past few years as a hybrid, multi-level transnational project to assist and intervene in the transformation towards green and just soy supplies in Europe. From the perspective of the DonauSoja organisation, boosting homegrown soy presupposes a significant overhaul of practices across soyâ's exceptionally long value chain and this begs the enrolement of a variety of actors, places, policies and events. As such, emerging configurations of scientific research, seed breeding, farming and retail practices, continually add and multiply the scope of the initiative. The paper addresses emerging relationalities around socio-material-technological assemblages such as for example soymeat-legumes-protein-soil, and discusses these in light of the imagined and anticipated futures they invoke and draw their strengths on. The presentation draws on examples from preliminary research pursued in Austria, Switzerland, Romania and China. Not Defined by the Numbers: Authenticity and Democracy in Debating the Data Karly Burch University of Otago, New Zealand This paper considers how metrics and standards deployed by states to govern food systems are negotiated and reclaimed by those who are meant to be governed, enabling a type of deliberative civic engagement. Measures are intended to guide the activities of producers and consumers, categorizing practices as safe or unsafe, good or harmful. While these numbers may shape action, they can also be seen to act as a form of simplified, state-led categorization, subjugating those whose activities are being regulated. In elaborating this

19 Page18 basic governance pattern, this paper suggests that those who must live by the numbers also define themselves against the metrics. In this way, these numbers can be seen as actants, instigating dissent, distinction and deliberation, as participants strive establish their authenticity outside reductionist parameters. Taking an assemblage approach state defined safe radiation levels in post-fukushima Japan, this paper discusses the ways that numbers are actively engaged with to create and vocalize a more emancipatory political subjectivity. Making wicked problems governable: the case of water quality in New Zealand s agrifood sector Ismail Tall University of Neuchatel, Switzerland Today, agri-environmental governance in New Zealand focuses mainly on mitigating the effects of dairy farming on water quality; it is manifested in public policies and regulations coming from both national and regional authorities as well as private actors, such as the dairy cooperative Fonterra. At the heart of environmental management is the process of resource consent regulated by the Resource Management Act 1991, as well as the fencing of waterways and riparian planting. While the water quality issue is a â œwickedâ multi-dimensional problem which crosses several policy domains, current New Zealand water policies are the result of the translation of a complex reality into a governable matter. Stripped from its controversies, the problem is indeed transformed into a technical / governable issue on which policy intervention is possible, but which simultaneously closes down the debate on alternative solutions. Yet, far from representing neutral forms of management, environmental governance instruments in the New Zealand agricultural sector are the result of a particular political configuration. Based on an ongoing PhD research in the region of Southland, New Zealand and relying on the Deleuzian concept of assemblage, I propose to highlight the political game of agri-environmental governance in New Zealand in an attempt to re-politicize the concept of governance. Social Capital and Collective Natural Resource Management in Integrated Dairy Farming Systems Rudi Kresna University of Otago, New Zealand Despite some constraints in the economic and physical capital, the practice of smallholder dairy farming provides a source of income and employment for some rural areas in Indonesia. The government has recognized this and designed a cooperative system for developing this kind of farming practice through a range of financial, technical and institutional supports. This cooperative approach has interesting consequences. The interactions among farmers in dairy farmer groups or cooperatives have been demonstrating mutual relationships that can actually provide low-cost production inputs through facilitating integrated farming systems. This kind of relationship can be understood through the theoretical concept of social capital. In this paper, I argue that social capital has become an important element in agricultural development since many studies have demonstrated its capability in enhancing productivity, sustainability and resilience of smallholder farmers. However, research focused on the link between natural and social capital in the kinds of collective natural resource management that is being performed by integrated dairy farming systems, are still limited. This paper reviews the understanding of elements of social capital such as trust, reciprocity and exchange, shared norms and connectedness of social networks in collective management systems. By reviewing some different basic concepts, types and dimensions, empirical practices, and measurement methods of social capital from previous studies, this study conceptualizes a theoretical framework for discovering the role of social capital in facilitating sustainability and resilience through the adoption of integrated dairy farming systems.

20 Page19 Megaregion Foodscape Transition: An Issue of Social Capital in Regional Governance Dika Fajri Fiisabiilillah 1, Bas Pedroli 2, Delik Hudalah 1 1 Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia 2 Wageningen University and Research Center Recent research findings indicate that the non-agricultural aspects of metropolitan food systems, which are also often rooted in the urban areas, are frequently neglected in the food planning because of the strong orientation to the functioning agricultural sector. The negligence of social capital in the metropolitan cooperation often jeopardizes the potential social, economic, and ecological benefits of the metropolitan foodscape. To optimize these benefits, a transition towards a comprehensive metropolitan food system would be needed. This thesis demonstrates how social capital influences the initiation of a metropolitan food system transition and takes Jakarta Metropolitan Region as the case study where in recent years the development of agribusiness distribution centres has been introduced as a first step. This study uses policy documents and the result of semi-structured interviews with the key representatives of Jakarta Metropolitan Region food system actors: the cooperation board, the local policy makers, and the big food retailers. In a qualitative approach, content analysis, grounded theory, and narrative analysis are combined to answer the research questions. It is observed that the initiation of agribusiness distribution centres in greater Jakarta does lead to the establishment of a certain level of structural food chain integration. However, the initiation was seriously hampered by not building upon social capital between stakeholders. The study concludes that a successful transition to an efficient and equitable metropolitan foodscape needs more emphasis on the stimulation of social capital to allow for an effective collaborative planning. Session 02 : Multi-stakeholder Initiatives: Practices, Power Relations, and Implications for the Governing of Agri-Food Sustainability Session 2a: a special session on Coffee Hilirisasi: Resource-based industrialisation (RBI) in the Indonesian Coffee and cocoa sectors Angga Dwiartama 1, Jeffrey Neilson 2, Dikdik Permadi 1 1 Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia 2 University of Sydney, Australia This paper assesses the broader policy trend towards hilirisasi in Indonesia, and the ability and limitations of these policies to meet their objectives. We explain the limitations of these policies in the context of Indonesia s position within global production networks for both coffee and coco-chocolate. We conclude by suggesting that the effectiveness of Indonesian policy in this area would be greatly enhanced through a heightened appreciation of GPN dynamics and opportunities for regional integration.

21 Page20 Agri-Environmental Governance for Smallholder Coffee Farmers in Sumatra Bustanul Arifin University of Lampung and Bogor Agricultural University Voluntary standards and eco-certification schemes as a praxis of agri-environmental governance (AEG) have played an important role in the creation of a more sustainable production of agricultural commodities. These private schemes, initiated in Northern countries, are regarded as rather new business models that aimed to function as innovators in agricultural value chains. Based on a policy-driven apparoach, attention to the social and environmental aspects of production will create value for farmers and society in the Southern countries. In this paper, we take a different problem-driven approach, in which the smallholder farmers values and interests will be put center stage. The paper draws from two case studies, using in-depth field surveys and face-to-face interviewe with smallholder farmers in the Robusta coffee production centers in the Provinces of South Sumatra and Lampung. We examined carefully the problems faced by smallholders in their daily practices, their socio-economic relations, and their institutional context as a starting point. We asked questions what values the certification schemes create for the farmers and what their relative contribution is to the inducement of a more sustainable livelihood.the study finds that farmers' understanding of sustainability objectives of eco-certification is low. Eco-certification schemes have provided some economic benefits for smallholder farmers joining certification, a bit higher than those for not joining certification, but mostly as a result of better farmers' organization and application of good agricultural practices (GAP). Farmers' organizational structures are generally weak, not meeting the requirements of eco-certification schemes. Smallholder farmers remain having high dependence on traditional social relationship with collector traders and the sources of financial capital at rural areas. Traders, roasters and exporters capture most of the economic rents from certified coffee value chains. Only small portion of the price premium consumers (in the North) pay arrives at the farm gate (in the South), while some certification schemes retain the premium in farmer groups. The paper has an important policy relevance on the transformative capacity of the standards and certifications towards a more sustainable agricultural production. This capacity is located at the interface of the global demands, which are channeled down from the top of the value chain, and the local context where local producers take their decisions. The paper also opens opportunities for a broader reflection on conditions levering livelihood improvements of the smallholder farmers in the South than only through the sustainable governance initiatives in the North. Geographical Indications and value capture in the Indonesia coffee sector Jeffrey Neilson University of Sydney Geographical Indications (GIs) are a form of collective intellectual property through which, it is envisaged, producers can capture the place-related value embodied within a product. As such, they are often promoted as a development initiative for lagging rural communities to improve livelihoods and alleviate poverty. This article applies the concepts of value capture and strategic coupling from the Global Production Networks (GPN) literature to assess the developmental impacts of GIs in the Indonesian coffee sector. Based on an assessment of indicators along a logical impact pathway, our study finds no evidence, and a limited likelihood, of tangible economic benefits for coffee growers resulting from current GIs in Indonesia, at least in the immediate future. This failure is explained in terms of the inability of local institutional settings supporting the GIs to strategically couple with the actor practices of lead firms in the coffee sector. The GIs, however, do appear to deliver intangible benefits for some stakeholders in terms of promoting a sense of regional pride and identity. GIs also reflect an intention to assert a moral claim over the geographical and cultural property
