Jérémie is assistant Professor at the Anthropology Institute at the University of Neuchâtel and leader of the AEG project. How we build our relation to food and agriculture through policies, market strategies, consumption, activism is what really interest him. Jérémie has studied for many years how farming populations, notably in Switzerland and New Zealand, engage with the challenges of the current time: market deregulation, environmental issues, resource management. His previous work on farmers adaptation to political and economic changes has inspired this current project on AEG. The discussion he started (together with Paul Stock and other colleagues) on autonomy as a tool of adaptation and transformation are developed at the scale of AEG assemblages that encompass multiple actors, from the public and private, political and economic spheres, both human and non-human.
