IntroductionSustainable development is a major societal, economic and policy issue, which receives much attention and traction, especially since the publication of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. These SDGs cover social and economic development issues, including ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, making cities more sustainable, combating climate change, and protecting oceans, forests and other terrestrial ecosystems. This is of particular interest to agriculture and food. In response to these sustainable development challenges in agriculture and food, a multitude of innovative activities and approaches to sustainability in agriculture and food systems has emerged. Notwithstanding the many initiatives in sustainable development, it is not yet within reach and current usage of natural resources is far from sustainable.Sustainable development has been described as one of the 'grand challenges' or transitions of this age. Directing such a systemic transition in a desired direction is a highly complex activity in which existing institutions and practices have to make way for the desired activity. Moreover, the complexity that was mentioned above makes it difficult to select governance interventions to advance the pursuance of sustainable development. Sustainability is therefore a major governance challenge.In practice, many activities in the pursuit of sustainable development focus on knowledge development and learning. Moreover, participants collaborate in sustainability clusters, in groups of related companies aim to increase the sustainability of their firms, value chains and territories, supported by stakeholders from public authorities, science, society and business. On that account, the role of knowledge in advancing sustainable development in clusters in agriculture and food became the object of this thesis.Knowledge gaps in understanding the role of knowledge in sustainability governance The knowledge and learning aspects of sustainability governance have been studied extensively, especially regarding social learning and the use of scientific knowledge to pursue sustainable development. Nonetheless, this knowledge- and learning-based approach to governance has not been well integrated in the literature on modes of governance. Governance literature has largely neglected to study knowledge and learning on a more fundamental level that would address the coordinative mechanisms of governance, which lead to transformative change. Especially the coordinative and transformative aspects of knowledge and learning have been somewhat overlooked.The second knowledge gap this thesis addresses, is a lack of a territorial-economic approach in the governance of sustainable development transitions, and especially regarding knowledge and learning. In economics and economic geography, there has been much attention to knowledge and learning that lead to economic development through innovation. Nonetheless, this literature generally has a strong focus on the firm and transactions and a limited one on the role of public actors (Ebbekink & Lagendijk, 2013; De Propris and Wei, 2007; Flanagan & Uyarra, 2016). Moreover, the complexity of governance tends to be underestimated (Flanagan et al., 2011; Flanagan & Uyarra, 2016). Hence, this thesis focusses on two aspects of the governance of sustainable development transitions in agriculture and food systems: 1) the coordinative role of knowledge and learning and 2)the territorial aspects of the knowledge and learning processes that establish coordination in sustainable development transitions. Moreover, these aspects are integrated in this thesis.Research objectives and questionsThis thesis, aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how knowledge processes achieve coordination in advancing sustainable development in agriculture and food clusters, or 'territorial knowledge governance'. Particularly the proposition was explored that knowledge governance should be considered as a distinct mode of governance with its own coordinative principles. For this objective, a heuristic framework has been elaborated, consisting of sustainable development missions, knowledge and governance, that together constitute territorial knowledge governance (in agriculture and food).The main objective of this thesis is to elaborate a conceptual framework for studying sustainability-driven territorial knowledge governance. Therefore, the scientific contribution is mainly theoretical. This analytical framework is meant to be of use to explore the practices by which knowledge processes in agriculture and food clusters coordinate the establishment of sustainable development. It is also used as such in this thesis for the case studies of various practices of knowledge governance by actors in sustainable agriculture and food clusters. The central research question is:Through which principles and to what extent do knowledge and learning establish coordination in the pursuance of the sustainable development of agriculture and food clusters?To answer this question, the following sub-questions are studied in this thesis:1. What are the coordinative principles of territorial knowledge governance in the pursuance of sustainable development of agriculture and food clusters?2. What are the constraints and enablers of territorial knowledge governance for pursuing sustainable development in agriculture and food clusters?3. What type of results are produced by territorial knowledge governance?Research designThe thesis uses an iterative research design that developed through. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest).

520 $a InleidingDuurzame ontwikkeling is een belangrijke maatschappelijke, economische en beleidskwestie die vooral sinds de publicatie van de Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) in 2015 veel in de aandacht staat. Deze SDG's behandelen sociale en economische ontwikkelingskwesties, waaronder het beeindigen van armoede en honger, het verbeteren van gezondheid en onderwijs, het duurzamer maken van steden, het bestrijden van klimaatverandering en het beschermen van oceanen, bossen en andere terrestrische ecosystemen. Als reactie op deze uitdagingen is een veelheid aan innovatieve activiteiten en benaderingen van duurzaamheid in landbouw en voedselsystemen ontstaan. Ondanks de vele initiatieven is duurzame ontwikkeling nog niet binnen bereik en is het huidige gebruik van natuurlijke hulpbronnen verre van duurzaam.Duurzame ontwikkeling is wel beschreven als een van de grote uitdagingen of transities van deze tijd. Het sturen van een dergelijke systemische transitie in een gewenste richting is een zeer complexe activiteit waarbij bestaande instituties en praktijken plaats moeten maken voor de gewenste activiteit. Bovendien maakt de hierboven genoemde complexiteit het moeilijk om governance-interventies te selecteren die het streven naar duurzame ontwikkeling bevorderen. Duurzaamheid is daarom een governance uitdaging.In de praktijk zijn veel duurzame ontwikkelingsactiviteiten gericht op kennisontwikkeling en leren. Bovendien werken deelnemers samen in duurzaamheidsclusters. Dit zijn groepen van verbonden bedrijven die tot doel hebben de duurzaamheid van hun bedrijven, waardeketens en fysieke omgeving te vergroten. Zij worden hierin ondersteund door actoren uit overheden, wetenschap, maatschappij en bedrijfsleven. De rol van kennis in het bevorderen van duurzame ontwikkeling in clusters in landbouw en voedsel is het onderwerp van dit proefschrift.Kennislacunes over de rol van kennis in de governance van duurzaamheidDe kennis- en lerenaspecten van de governance van duurzame ontwikkeling zijn uitgebreid bestudeerd; met name met betrekking tot sociaal leren en het gebruik van wetenschappelijke kennis. Deze kennis- en leren gebaseerde benadering van governance is echter niet goed geintegreerd in de literatuur over 'Modes of Governance'. De governance literatuur heeft het grotendeels nagelaten om kennis en leren op een meer fundamenteel niveau te bestuderen; met name voor wat betreft de coordinerende mechanismen die tot transformatieve veranderingen rondom duurzame ontwikkeling kunnen leiden. Kortom, vooral de coordinerende en transformatieve aspecten van kennis en leren zijn tot nu toe grotendeels over het hoofd gezien.De tweede kenniskloof die in dit proefschrift wordt opgepakt is een gebrek aan een ruimtelijk-economische benadering in het sturen van duurzame ontwikkelingstransities, met name met betrekking tot kennis en leren. In de economische wetenschappen en de economische geografie is er wel veel aandacht geweest voor kennis en leren en de economische ontwikkeling die het gevolg is van innovatie. Deze literatuur heeft over het algemeen echter een sterke focus op bedrijven en transacties tussen bedrijven en een beperkte focus op de rol van publieke actoren (Ebbekink & Lagendijk, 2013; De Propris en Wei, 2007; Flanagan & Uyarra, 2016). Bovendien wordt de complexiteit van governance vaak onderschat (Flanagan et al., 2011; Flanagan & Uyarra, 2016). Daarom richt dit proefschrift zichop twee aspecten van het sturen van duurzame ontwikkelingstransities in landbouw- en voedselsystemen: 1) de coordinerende rol van kennis en leren en 2) de territoriale aspecten van de kennis en leerprocessen die deze coordinatie tot stand brengen in duurzame ontwikkelingstransities. Bovendien worden in dit proefschrift deze aspecten geintegreerd.Onderzoeksdoelstelling en -vragenDit proefschrift heeft als doel het theoretische begrip te verbeteren van hoe kennis- en leerprocessen coordinatie bewerkstelligen bij het nastreven van duurzame ontwikkeling in landbouw en voedselclusters, of 'ruimtelijke kennis governance'. In het bijzonder wordt de stelling onderzocht dat kennis governance moet worden beschouwd als een afzonderlijke mode of governance, met zijn eigen coordinerende principes. Voor deze doelstelling is een heuristisch kader ontwikkeld, bestaande uit duurzame ontwikkelingsmissies, kennis en governance, die samen ruimtelijke kennis governance vormen (met betrekking tot landbouw en voedsel).Het hoofddoel van dit proefschrift is om een conceptueel kader uit te werken voor het bestuderen van duurzaamheidsgerichte ruimtelijke kennis governance. Daarom is de bijdrage aan de stand van de wetenschap vooral van theoretische aard. Dit analytische kader is bedoeld om te gebruiken bij het onderzoeken hoe kennisprocessen in landbouw- en voedselclusters de totstandbrenging van duurzame ontwikkeling coordineren. Het kader wordt ook als zodanig in dit proefschrift gebruikt voor de casestudies van verschillende praktijken van ruimtelijke kennis governance door actoren in duurzame landbouw en voedselclusters. De centrale onderzoeksvraag is:Op basis van welke principes en in welke mate zorgen kennis en leren voor coordinatie bij het streven naar duurzame ontwikkeling van landbouw- en voedselclusters?Om deze vraag te beantwoorden, worden de volgende sub-vragen in dit proefschrift bestudeerd:1. Wat zijn de coordinerende principes van ruimtelijke kennis governance bij het streven naar duurzame ontwikkeling van landbouw- en voedselclusters?2. Wat zijn de barrieres en versterkers voor ruimtelijke kennis governance bij het nastreven van duurzame ontwikkeling in landbouw en. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest).
