Calls to transform food systems along more ethical and sustainable lines are mounting alongside debates about what constitutes transformative change and strategies needed to achieve it. Civil society organizations (CSOs) have argued that transforming food systems requires transforming the governance of food systems, as dominant “productivist” approaches to governance have narrowly invested in corporate priorities while marginalizing the many small-scale food workers that animate our food system. In this paper, we examine the possibilities and unexpected pathways of food system transformation through the case of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines). Mobilized by CSOs, the SSF Guidelines transformed understandings of fisheries sustainability and strategies to achieve it. Moving beyond narrow productivist concerns and capitalist priorities, the SSF Guidelines foreground a diverse range of ethical concerns, economic practices, and values as central to sustainable governance, opening different food system sites, and infrastructural concerns to transformation. Strategically, the SSF Guidelines outline the need to recognize, strengthen, and connect existing “organizational structures” linking fishworkers to invest in (re)building appropriate “infrastructure” for sustainable food systems, especially for women in provisioning, whose organizations, practices, and economic activities have been overlooked. We follow efforts to implement the SSF Guidelines in Tanzania through an initiative to map existing women’s fisheries organizations, an initiative that revealed that these networks are already part of widespread, diverse economies. Mapping served as an inventory of other- and more-than-capitalist practices that enable women’s fishing cooperatives to navigate their interdependency through practices of reciprocity, care, and creativity in seafood systems. Drawing on diverse economies theory and analytic techniques, we argue that food system transformation can be understood as a process “here and now” that can be enacted, in part, by recognizing and amplifying existing social, economic, and political infrastructure for the food system we want.

沿着更加道德和可持续的路线改造粮食系统的呼声越来越高，同时关于什么构成变革性变革以及实现变革所需战略的争论也越来越多。民间社会组织（CSO）认为，转变粮食系统需要转变粮食系统的治理，因为占主导地位的“生产主义”治理方法狭隘地投资于企业优先事项，同时边缘化了许多为我们的粮食系统注入活力的小规模粮食工人。在本文中，我们通过《保障可持续小规模渔业自愿准则》（SSF准则）的案例探讨了粮食系统转型的可能性和意想不到的途径。在民间社会组织的动员下，《小规模渔业准则》改变了人们对渔业可持续性和实现渔业可持续性战略的理解。 《小规模渔业指南》超越了狭隘的生产力主义关注点和资本主义优先事项，突出了各种道德问题、经济实践和价值观，将其作为可持续治理的核心、开放不同的粮食系统场所以及转型的基础设施问题。从战略上讲，《小规模渔业准则》概述了需要认识、加强和连接现有的“组织结构”，将渔业工人联系起来，投资（重新）建设可持续粮食系统的适当“基础设施”，特别是对于从事供应的妇女来说，她们的组织、做法和做法经济活动被忽视了。我们通过一项绘制现有妇女渔业组织图谱的倡议，跟踪坦桑尼亚实施《小规模渔业准则》的努力，该倡议揭示了这些网络已经成为广泛、多样化经济体的一部分。 绘图作为一种非资本主义实践的清单，使妇女渔业合作社能够通过海鲜系统中的互惠、关怀和创造力的实践来驾驭相互依存关系。借鉴不同的经济理论和分析技术，我们认为粮食系统转型可以理解为“此时此地”的一个过程，可以部分通过认识和扩大粮食系统现有的社会、经济和政治基础设施来实施。我们想要。
