The "everyday" refers to localised practices, specific networks, and practical norms that emerge in a process of interaction, translation, and reinterpretation. The authors build this approach on assemblage thinking and theory, which focuses on the collective production of the social through complex sets of connections. For this reason, assemblage thinking becomes a particularly productive guide in exploring how everyday governance is co-produced in the interaction between numerous social processes involving a diversity of actors and instruments. The authors navigate between original and contrasting case studies from Switzerland, Indonesia, and the European Union in order to reorient attention to the transformative nature of governance, which they locate along four different dimensions of the everyday: (1) the interdependence of instruments within a wider governance assemblage; (2) the uncertainty and unpredictability of effects in agrienvironmental governance; (3) the distributed nature of agency and its implication for power relations; (4) the importance of capacities in the transformation of agri-food systems. This book calls for a redesigning of agri-environmental governance that should move away from the setting of fix and precise objectives and solutions, and rather aim for a consolidation of sound foundations on which desirable futures can emerge. The book will be an essential read for students and scholars interested in sustainable agriculture and food systems, governance modes and approaches, and sustainability more broadly.

This activity was carried out in the fish cultivator group, namely Berkah Tani Sebatik partners and Pokdanakan Tapal Batas on Sebatik Island, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan, with partners. The method approach used is socialization and training on feed enrichment and catfish spawning. Both partners were given an understanding of catfish biology, spawning, eggs, and catfish seeds through socialization activities and training on feed enrichment and spawning through direct practical activities. Partners have been able to carry out feed enrichment and fish spawning independently.

Major obstacles to the implementation of an effective health information system regarding dengue cases in Bandung are examined, and practical suggestions on measures to overcome them are discussed. The study utilized a mixed-method research design using qualitative approaches: document analysis, key informants and focus group interviews. Thirty key informants were selected, comprised of policymakers, senior managers, and staff at the Ministry of Health. Data from documents and transcripts were evaluated through a modified Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework described by Ostrom. Through this study, we have identified several issues that hinder the effective implementation of the health information system in the case of dengue in Bandung. In the end, we propose several recommendations for reform that encompasses motivational, strategic, and structural approaches to each component of the analysis. Through evaluation of the health information system for dengue surveillance in Indonesia, we conclude that well-coordination in multi-level governance in a country as large as Indonesia is the key in the implementation of the health information system in different levels of agencies. Furthermore, the adaptability of human resources in adopting a new information system also plays an important part.

First, this article seeks to align the current development of an ever-expanding scientific (and political) project called ‘resilience thinking’, with the ambivalence of resilience politics. Second, it responds to resilience multiple by proposing that resilience is also fluid, a term derived from de Laet and Mol’s fluid technology. Lastly, it extends the implication of fluidity within resilience thinking to the agency of a quasi-actant that shapes and disrupts the current political project of the uncertain future.

Although it is likely that the industry will be resilient in the face of the current shock, changes and transformation will also take place in the process. Using actor-network theory (ANT) as an analytical tool, this paper explores what resilience means to the industry as Psa-V is enrolled to the actor-network. Drawing on data obtained from semi-structured interviews and document analysis, this paper substantiates the notion that resilience, as with any other social construct, is an effect generated by networks of heterogeneous actors. I argue that resilience and transformation need to be understood as ongoing processes of negotiation between actors, both human and non-human, within the kiwifruit industry. Adopting Michel Callon's moments of translation, this paper proposes the moments of transformation through a series of negotiations that includes enrolment, translation, stabilisation, and alignment. The paper concludes that the complexity of the industry can render it plausible that resilience and transformation occurs simultaneously; hence the concept transformative resilience.

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 engineered by the community sector in Bandung. The research thus leads to a conclusion that we need to look beyond individual actions in seeing social transformation, and through a coordinated collective movement, there is a promising impact on the sustainability of the local food system in Bandung and elsewhere. Practitioners and activists within the local food networks need to take a precaution in safeguarding this rapid interest in the movement.

To date, the ability of this ambitious conceptual model to thereby explain economic geography has remained largely untested beyond the select industry networks examined by its proponents, most notably the electronics, retail, and automotive sectors of East Asia. In this article, we stress test the causative model for the case of lead firms in the global cocoa-chocolate sector, and assess its ability to subsequently explain industry configurations and territorial outcomes in a particular country: Indonesia. Our application suggests that GPN 2.0 has considerable utility for directing empirical research, but challenges beset its fuller theoretical promise. We identify a problematic relationship between the deductive causality implied by GPN 2.0 and the inherent relationality of GPN 1.0 that remains, in our view, unresolved. As a result, we remain skeptical of the broader theoretical claims that GPN 2.0 possesses explanatory powers capable of deducing industry network configurations from a discrete set of supposedly independent variables.

This encourage the government to open up access to utilize forest, in order to improve the community's economy. Since March 2018, access to utilize forest has been implemented in Masigit Kareumbi Game Reserve (TBMK). However, research related to the evaluation of activities has not been widely found. This study aims to evaluate and determine the optimal pine tapping management strategy in TBMK. The research was conducted in Sukajaya and Citengah Villages, South Sumedang District, using Ostrom Institutional Analysis and Development Framework, Stakeholder Analysis, and the Analysis Hierarchy Process. The result showed that, the potential of pine resin in the research location was 308,377.3 kg/year, which had a positive economic, social, and institutional impact on the community but tended to have a negative impact on the ecological aspects. Stakeholder analysis showed that the parties involved were among others KLHK, BBKSDA West Java, Sukajaya and Citengah Heads Village, Forest Farmer Group (KTH) Sawargi and Medal Kencana, Pinus Merkusii Cooperation, and the Indonesian Conservation Cadre Communication Forum (FK3I). Each stakeholder has a good relationship, however, there is still a need for a more optimal communication and coordination system between one another. The suggested strategy is to increase community assistance by FK3I and Pinus Merkusii Cooperation involvement in limiting the tapping pine resin.

The preferred policy strategy to achieve these development objectives, however, remain intensely debated. A specific policy strategy of resource-based industrialisation (RBI), involving pre-export value addition to raw materials, is frequently pursued by resource-rich countries in the global south. We apply the analytical framework of Global Production Network (GPN) theory, and its central notion of strategic coupling, to the case of cocoa processing in Indonesia. Our findings demonstrate that the apparent success of an RBI policy in encouraging growth of a domestic cocoa processing sector, primarily through the use of export restrictions, is highly dependent on industry-specific GPN dynamics. Through an assessment of downstreaming policies in Indonesia, this paper provides an explanation for the success and limitations of such industrial policies in the contemporary global economy. Industry outcomes are strongly influenced by Indonesia's position within a set of globally-connected networks and the alignment of national policy with the particular strategies of lead firms within these networks in a processes of strategic coupling. We further argue that the inherent importance of upstream supply within resource-based industrialisation demands further attention when applying concepts of strategic coupling to this particular policy framework.

Accordingly, in this paper we attempt to develop a theoretical re-framing that is able to link food security with AFNs in arguing that the understanding of the two notions is dynamics and contingent upon the elements (actors, practices, geography) that construct them. We use an assemblage approach to analyze a case of Dunedin, a small-size city in New Zealand, in which the community aims to achieve food security through a local food strategy. Through a series of interviews with a group of food activists and academics, public discussions, and two local food forums, we found that food security was understood and performed in its local context through assembling diverse actors and objectives within the AFN. In conclusion, we offer assemblage thinking as an analytical tool to understand how seemingly precarious local food relations are stabilized and assembled so as to open possibilities of achieving food security.
