摘要

由消费者驱动的农业价值链发展被认为是发展中国家满足农村家庭和社区生计以及粮食安全的重要策略之一。尽管理论和实践研究不断推进，现有研究忽视了将价值链与社区发展进行整合。在快速变革的背景下，价值链与乡村社区都需要韧性，而不仅仅是发展。为了更好地构建知识经济背景下乡村韧性的机会，这篇论文系统地探究了武汉城市快速变革地区的价值链和乡村社区的互动。通过三种类型的蔬菜价值链和两个相关联的社区，深入研究它们的互动。数据主要来源于知情者访谈（与供应链成员、村干部、村组织成员和其他利益相关者）、与农民的家庭访谈以及焦点小组讨论。社区是积极的行动者，有着自身特定的“社区资产”，推动了蔬菜价值链不同程度的可持续发展和韧性。这篇研究发现，需要重视连接乡村社区发展与价值链发展，在农业价值链发展过程中建构乡村韧性。

Abstract

The development of consumer-driven, agri-food value chains is considered one of the best strategies to meet the livelihood and food security needs of rural households and communities in developing countries. Despite theoretical and empirical advances, the existing research fails to consider opportunities to combine value chains with community development. In rapidly changing conditions, both value chains and the communities they source from and deliver to need resilience, rather than solely development. To advance the conceptualisation of rural resilience opportunities in the knowledge economy, this study holistically examines the interactions between value chains and rural communities in a rapidly developing city-region of Wuhan, China. Three types of vegetable value chains in two villages were selected to explore these interactions. Data were collected using key informant interviews with chain actors, village leaders, members of groups, and other stakeholders; household interviews with farmers; and focus groups. Each village had unique development dynamics associated with vegetable value chains. The communities were active agents, with specific characteristics represented by “community capitals”, that promote different levels of sustainability and resilience in the vegetable value chains. Findings of this study suggest the importance of linking rural community development with agri-food value chain development, with a view to build rural resilience alongside agri-food value chain development.
