Why Labels No Longer Convince Anyone
Michael Spence (Nobel 2001), costly signaling, and what separates proof from a promise: why a label anyone can slap on no longer signals anything — and how proof changes the game.
Who Sorts, When No One Proves Anything?
Joseph Stiglitz (Nobel 2001), screening, and why food sovereignty begins with verification: when the seller doesn’t signal, it’s the buyer who organizes the sorting.
Why Opacity Pays
Ronald Coase (Nobel 1991), transaction costs, and what happens to food supply chains when verification stops costing anything: the opacity rent, and its foretold end.
Who Owns the Proof?
Elinor Ostrom (Nobel 2009), the governance of the commons, and the question that killed the agricultural-data platforms: proof whose value lies in its mass can only belong to those who create it.
We Don’t Reassure. We Leave Fear Behind.
We do not fight one fear with another: why reassurance is never enough, and how proof leads out of food-related distrust.
Import Is Not a Sin
Import = bad, local = good? With Spinoza: the good is not a property but a relation. Traceability is a matter of proof, not morality.
Three Ways of Knowing a Tomato
Sign, reason, singular: Spinoza’s three kinds of knowledge applied to a tomato — from the label to the verifiable product passport.
Opacity Is Not a Lie
What a seventeenth-century philosopher has to do with traceability: why the opacity of an origin is not fraud but mutilated knowledge, to be restored rather than punished.
