Abstract: This article analyses the links between the ecologization of food systems and transformations of work in two Territorial Food Projects in France. Three case studies are explored, based on a reflective analysis conducted by the researchers: the governance of a Territorial Food Project; the management of a sustainable food offer in mass catering; and the project to replace plastic containers in a central kitchen. For each case, an ergonomics-based iterative methodology was used, drawing on observations, semi-structured interviews, working groups, and reflective workshops. The results reveal how workers act as essential mediators between the macro level (the Territorial Food Project and related laws), the meso level (collective action in local projects) and the micro level (the activity of actors in the food system).
