Abstract
Transitions leading to sociotechnical innovations in food supply chains
have been described in dramaturgical analyses on the basis of newspaper articles
and parliamentary records. The time scale of such transitions driven by aroused
public opinion is typically a decade. Actors are primary producers (farmers), other
supply chain parties, authorities, NGOs voicing particular opinions, political parties,
and consumers. Their interactions and reactions to external events are modelled
in an agent-based simulation. The purposes of the simulation are (1) to validate
that hypothetical relations derived from the dramaturgical analysis indeed lead to
the emergence of the observed transitions, and (2) to study how the system could
have developed under different behaviours or a different course of external events.
Simulation results and a sensitivity analysis are discussed. The simulation shows
particularly sensitive for the participation of both moderate and activist NGOs.
