Sharing economy practices in agri-food settlements: Integration of resources, interdependence and interdefinition

摘要

Agri-food systems are in constant movement, constituted by practices that are shared by actors; however, in a context where new practices are established by the sharing economy, it is necessary to understand them. Thus, this article identifies and describes the sharing economy practices adopted by agrifood rural settlements. Using as basis a systematic review and a multiple case study, the literature revealed 11 practices although the multiple case studies just did not find the practice of housing sharing in the settlements; on the other hand, uncover a new practice, labor sharing, that was not yet mentioned in the literature. This study reveals that the sharing economy practices in agri-food production are strongly linked by the integration of resources and this reality generates the interdependence and interdefinition of the actors in rural settlements.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
