• Building Food Democracy: Exploring Civic Food Networks and Newly Emerging Forms of Food Citizenship (2012, background): “…distinction between alternative and conventional is problematic since it is not static and often delimitations between alternative and mainstream are dynamic over time (as indicated, for example, in debates on ‘conventionalization’ of organics and fair-trade products, see Jaffee and Howard, 2010).”
• Trust, legitimacy and power in forest certification: A case study of the FSC in British Columbia (2012, background): “While significant attention has been paid to the effect of political and market pressures on certification’s environmental and social standards (e.g. Cashore et al., 2004; Jaffee and Howard, 2010), less consideration has been given to its impacts on the certification process itself, and less yet to ”
• Who Governs Socially-Oriented Voluntary Sustainability Standards? Not the Producers of Certified Products (2017, background): “Third, excluding producers may reduce the benefits that VSSSO policies create for producer groups, as other groups shape policies to their own benefit (Brown, 2008; Jaffee & Howard, 2009).”

• Agri-Food Markets towards Sustainable Patterns (2020, background): “However, both Fairtrade and organics face the risk of ‘cooptation’ [332] that is to say their ‘mainstreaming’ that, paradoxically, reduces or eliminates their transformational potential [333–335].”
