Academic texts on agro-ecology are often too limited to production systems. When notions of food systems and food value chains are described they introduce the consumer as a choice taker, reflecting neoclassical economic theory. The study of the emergence of two agroecological chains in Benin and Belgium explains how consumer demands are key learning resources for chain co-creation. In the case of the fair trade rice chain an NGO stimulates the cocreation process while in the beef chain in Gaume consumers who are directly involved in a deliberative process bring about this questioning.
