Abstract in another language
SDG 2 requires state action. However, many of the SDG 2 targets can be better achieved by private businesses, who “regulate” the food value chain via contracts. These contracts are typically such that compliance with their terms and with the SDG 2 targets depends on the behaviour of the respective contracting parties. This chapter first evaluates how contractual regulation is of importance for the achievement of the objectives of the SDG 2. It will then illustrate how food chains are “regulated” via contractual networks globally. It will also illustrate how these contracts are regularly interdependent with the respective behaviour of the contractual partners. Beyond this understanding it will argue that in these contractual networks governance is no spontaneous, neutral behaviour. In the absence of national contract law as a default, food business operations rather respond to the environment of the markets in which they operate. Understanding these contractual networks as choice architecture may open up a new, and maybe more effective understanding of how the SDG 2 targets can be achieved more effectively.
