Certification of Markets, Markets of Certificates: Tracing Sustainability in Global Agro-Food Value Chains
Open accessAbstract
There is a blossoming of voluntary certification initiatives for sustainable agro-food products and production processes. With these certification initiatives come traceability in supply chains, to guarantee the sustainability of the products consumed. No systematic analysis exists of traceability systems for sustainability in agro-food supply chains. Hence, the purpose of this article is to analyze the prevalence of four different traceability systems to guarantee sustainability; to identify the factors that determine the kind of traceability systems applied in particular supply chains; and to assess what the emergence of economic and market logics in traceability mean for sustainability. Two conclusions are drawn. Globalizing markets for sustainable agro-food products induces the emergence of book-and-claim traceability systems, but the other three systems (identity preservation, segregation and mass balance) will continue to exist as different factors drive traceability requirements in different supply chains. Secondly, traceability itself is becoming a market driven by economic and market logics, and this may have consequences for sustainability in agro-food supply chains in the future.

Transparency is associated with positive outcomes in terms of sustainability, legitimacy, and fairness.
“Respectively, transparency is associated with positive outcomes in terms of sustainability, legitimacy, and fairness.”
From Making deforestation risk visible. Discourses on bovine leather supply chain in Brazil (2020) · cites this paper as Mol, 2015
The Introduction (page unavailable) says value-chain transparency is required to trace and verify sustainability claims, and Section 5 links greater transparency to consumer trust and reputational concerns. The paper does not establish positive outcomes for legitimacy or fairness, so the three-part claim goes beyond its account. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTransparency of one aspect can divert attention from, simplify or diminish the importance of others.
“Thus, transparency of one aspect can divert attention from, simplify or diminish the importance of others (Flyverbom, 2016;Gardner et al., 2018;Mol and Oosterveer, 2015).”
From Making deforestation risk visible. Discourses on bovine leather supply chain in Brazil (2020) · cites this paper as Mol and Oosterveer, 2015
Section 4.2 (Determining Factors; page unavailable) says institutional actors focus more on aggregated sustainability effects and less on individual, identifiable products. Section 5 (New Markets of Traceability; page unavailable) says some consumers prefer traceability systems that offer greater transparency about producers and resources. These passages support the idea that traceability systems emphasize different aspects, but not the claim that transparency about one aspect itself diverts attention from or diminishes the importance of others.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
