Offer Description
The Project
We are inviting proposals for a PhD project that would explore the connection between (private) law and food systems transformation. How do current legal frameworks affect sustainable food systems transformation and what type of legal frameworks might help such transformative processes? Proposals are welcome to approach this question from all possible perspectives and subfields of (private) law. Approaches addressing the question of sustainable labour in food systems transformation are particularly welcome.
The PhD project should fill a critical gap in existing scholarship by highlighting the connection between established legal structures and emerging sustainable (labour) practices within the current predominantly extractive food systems. The project should aim at deepening our knowledge on how law is shaping not only exploitative food industries but also emerging sustainable alternatives. The project needs to make a contribution towards answering the question about how (private) law should be rethought at fundamental level in order to better support such sustainable practices of food production, leading to sustainable and just food systems overall. The proposals are encouraged to take a holistic approach to the question of sustainable and just food systems transformation. Especially important is the connection between nature and labour, expressed in the entanglement of land, labourers, communities and ecosystems.
While the project does not have an exclusive regional interest, proposals with a focus on the Netherlands, the Global South or regions that are otherwise marginalised in research are particularly welcome. The projects should entail conducting original empirical research on food production models that foster sustainable labour practices, ecological sustainability, social justice, and economic equity. Such original empirical insights should offer deeper understanding of how legal structures affect transformative change towards sustainable, just, equitable, and worker-governed food systems.
