Analyse des stratégies territoriales multi-niveaux au sein du « Collectif 5C », un réseau wallon de coopératives alimentaires

Our empirical study is based on the qualitative analysis of a Collective of cooperatives engaged in proximity-based food systems in Belgium. By comparing the territorial strategies of three member-cooperatives, we underline the diversity of spatial and organizational forms coexisting within the Coll...

description Our empirical study is based on the qualitative analysis of a Collective of cooperatives engaged in proximity-based food systems in Belgium. By comparing the territorial strategies of three member-cooperatives, we underline the diversity of spatial and organizational forms coexisting within the Collective “5C”. We also show that this diversity is not simply needed in order to answer the variety of context faced by coops within-territory; but it also represents opportunities for strategies between-territories. Which in turn could benefit the relocalization and reconnexion project hold in each cooperative. Indeed, by collaborating between organizations situated in cities and countryside areas, they could overcome some of their internal obstacles that often leads to trade-offs between the alternative dimension of the project and its economic viability. We then point to the crucial role played by meta-organizations as the “Collective 5C” for the coordination and regulation of inter-territorial relations.
