Life’s evaluation, a blind spot of sustainable food systems transitions

As a blind spot in the transition, Life, in the sense of animal and plant species, landscapes and natural processes connected to the biosphere, raises specific and complex evaluation challenges. In this article, we propose a theoretical and evaluative framework for integrating the living world in transitions. By adopting a pragmatic environmental ethics approach, we discuss four major trajectories: technological-industrial, systemic rupture, regeneration and epistemic rupture.
