"Shaping Future Society - Sub-Project Nutrition"

What forms of communitization that feature alternative nutritional practices are explored in the literature, and what organizational structures, opportunities, challenges, and transformative potentials are highlighted?

We investigated this question in our systematic literature review and published the results in the journal Sustainability (Open Access):
Ruppenthal, T. & Rückert-John, J. (2026): Systematic literature review on forms of communitization that feature alternative nutritional practices, Sustainability, 18(2), 879

The results indicate that forms of communitization that feature alternative nutritional practices can achieve or already have transformative potential when they establish strong institutional ties, ensure consistent access to land, implement inclusive governance structures, apply transparent financial practices, and create mechanisms that use the diversity of participants as a collaborative strength rather than a source of conflict.
