PhD CandidateMy research focuses on sustainable small-scale fisheries, especially on capture tuna fisheries in Indonesia. To ensure responsible production and improve market access, many voluntary sustainability certifications have evolved and applied certification schemes in developing countries. There is relatively little information about the translation of the standards by all actors, especially the fishers and local actors along the value chain. In my research project, I draw on capability approach to expand the lens and better understand how voluntary sustainability certifications are translated down by all actors along the value chain and the extent of changes in the structure and governance of the value chain due to compliance with the standards.
